Advocacy
Our Advocacy Mission: To elevate the voices of homeless families so they become unignorable.
The Cuidando Los Niños advocacy department’s focus is on families first. We believe that a village already knows what they need to be successful and has the internal resources to make that happen.
Our job simply is to cultivate relationships with the families that we serve at Cuidando so we can better understand how to serve our community.
We do this through a myriad of programs which address systemic dysfunctions head on, build organizational partnership with local government, educational institutions, organizational institutions, as well as affiliated private and nonprofit service providers; cultivate parent leadership, and lobby at the state and local level alongside our families.
These programs are funded by both state and private sources who share our vision of a multigenerational approach to ending childhood homelessness.
