With the launch of the FamilySource Center collaborative, CFRC has already begun to see a spike in the number of clients through its doors. This large collaborative enables families to receive comprehensive social and asset-building resources and services through membership of nine community-based organizations.
CFRC spearheads the asset development and financial empowerment component of the initiative. Being apart of FamilySource now allows the agency to serve clients beyond the scope of its on-site programs. Whether renter’s rights issues, citizenship, or domestic violence an incoming client would receive a formal referral to a participating partner to receive the help they need. And since referrals work both ways CFRC should expect to encounter clients referred from other agencies.
With the roll-out of Ramp-Up Accounts this December, the continuation of IDA (Individual Development Accounts) and the Bank on LA campaign the Center is surely poised to lead asset development efforts in South Los Angeles.
