Organizations Filed Purposes:
Wayfinder's mission is to ensure that children, youth and adults facing challenges always have a place to turn. Wayfinder operates three divisions: 1) Children and adults with visual impairment and multiple disabilities; 2) Child welfare, with a special focus on foster youth with health or behavioral challenges; 3) Medical and mental health for clients in our programs. Wayfinder offers all services at no cost to children, adults, and their families, 90 percent of whom are low income.
Group Homes for Children and Adults - Wayfinder operates five Group Homes in single-family homes, each housing up to six children or six young adults with multiple disabilities. Residents receive round-the-clock care. All group homes are conveniently located in the South Los Angeles neighborhood near the Wayfinder campus so that young residents can attend the Special Education School, and use Wayfinder's recreational facilities or receive care from the 24-hour medical center.
Temporary Shelter Care Program, also known as, The Cottage, is a 10-day shelter on our campus for children, ages 0 through 17, who have just been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. These children need temporary refuge until they can be placed with family members or foster families. Our professional staff stabilize children in crisis so they are ready to transition into placement. Wayfinder is one of only four agencies selected by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services to provide this service - and the only one that accepts infants and toddlers.
Foster Care and Adoption - This program matches children and youth who have been displaced from their homes due to abuse or neglect with families that can provide safe, caring homes. Our adoption services find loving, lifelong families for children in the child welfare system. Therapeutic, supportive services from Wayfinder ensure that children reach their greatest potential in safe, nurturing foster and permanent homes.
