Product overview

Lao Family Community Development, Inc. (LFCD) is a multi-service nonprofit organization offering an integrated suite of community development programs across three core pillars: Health Services, Housing Services, and Human Services. The organization operates through its signature CARE Model (Community, Access, Resources, Education), which provides a unified framework delivered through two service hubs — CARE Campuses (transitional housing with on-site wraparound health, employment, and support services) and CARE Community Centers (non-residential education, workforce, and community hubs). The Health Services pillar includes MHSA Prevention and Early Intervention and CalAIM Enhanced Care Management programs. The Housing Services pillar encompasses emergency shelter, transitional and permanent housing, the CARE Campus Oakland (275 studios), CARE Community Centers (Oakland HQ, San Pablo, and Hurley Way Sacramento), Rumrill Apartments (32 units), CARE Casita Villages (social housing), and Casa Liberty (12-unit DV property). The Human Services pillar covers workforce development (WIOA, CalWORKs, ESE, CNA certification), refugee employment services, youth programs, business services, and financial and family support — all coordinated through 18 service locations in four Northern California counties.
