Latino Community Development Agency

What Latino Community Development Agency does

The Latino Community Development Agency (LCDA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1991 and headquartered at 420 SW 10th Street in Oklahoma City. LCDA serves the Latino community of Oklahoma County through an integrated portfolio of evidence-based programs spanning six service lines: Prevention (Parents as Teachers and SafeCare home visiting models), Health and Wellness (HIV/STI prevention, diabetes prevention, prenatal support, three regional health fairs), Treatment (substance abuse, child mental health, child trauma, domestic violence intervention, immigration psychosocial evaluations), Youth (Latino Youth Leadership Club, scholarships exceeding $900,000 since 2002, robotics/STEM, summer STEAM, tutoring), and early childhood education at the Tony Reyes Bilingual Child Development Centers — the only bilingual 5-star rated Infant/Toddler Early Head Start program in Oklahoma. All services are delivered in Spanish and English by bilingual staff.

LCDA's service delivery is built on nationally recognized, evidence-based program frameworks. The Parents as Teachers program holds a Blue-Ribbon designation (2017), and the SafeCare program is accredited through the National SafeCare Training and Research Center. The Tony Reyes centers are NAEYC-accredited, and the organization has maintained CARF accreditation since 2005 covering outpatient substance abuse treatment, case management, and mental health services. The CDC has granted Full-Plus Recognition Status for the Diabetes Prevention Program. Distribution is primarily direct through the Riverside headquarters, home visits, school-based Latino Clubs in OKCPS schools, and community events including an annual luncheon (~600 attendees) and the Back to School Bash (1,500+ attendees).

Revenue derives from multiple streams typical of a community-based nonprofit: individual and corporate donations, foundation and government grants, child care tuition ($245-$325/week depending on age), immigration psychosocial evaluation fees ($350 per evaluation), and annual fundraising events. Named institutional partners include Feed the Children (2025 Partner Agency of the Year), Oklahoma City County Health Department, Sunbeam Family Services (Early Head Start), UnidosUS, AT&T, Devon Energy, and Oklahoma Complete Health. LCDA is governed by an independent board of directors and led by President & CEO Salvador Ontiveros.
