“When I needed help, I knew I could reach out to the Alliance. They’ve gone out of their way to help me and my child. It’s good to know that, even when I am at my lowest, I have someone to reach out to.”

Who We Serve
Our programs support young parents ages 14 - 21 who have experienced foster care.
In Los Angeles County, nearly 60% of young women in foster care experience at least one pregnancy by age 19.
Children born to parents in foster care have a higher likelihood of entering foster care themselves.
Only 58% of youth in foster care graduate from high school on time.
Only 10% graduate from college.
Over 1 in 5 youth in foster care report experiencing homelessness. Compared to non-parents, expectant and parenting youth are more likely to have experienced instability and food insecurity, and are less likely to be employed.
We are working to change this story and these outcomes for resilient mothers and their families.

The Healthy Teen Families program at the Alliance supports hundreds of young parents each year, providing access to prenatal care, parenting and wellness education, childcare, baby essentials, employment, housing, and healthcare—aiding them with the resources they need to break the inter-generational cycle of children being removed from young parents in foster care.
