Our APA Family Support Services team gathered in one of San Francisco’s most treasured places, the amazing Presidio. We received an inspiring briefing on the Presidio’s proud history and ongoing transformation—from its days as a military post to becoming one of the country’s most successful national park sites.

Alongside Mayor Lurie, 11 city departments, 80+ nonprofits, supervisors, and philanthropic partners, we explored how coordinated investments, better nonprofit jobs, and truly integrated education, housing, health, and family support services can transform outcomes for every child and family.

Our APAFSS program team has been working diligently to roll out the support network so families don’t fear going hungry.

To address the growing need for culturally responsive behavioral health services among Bay Area children, youth, and families with limited resources, we launched an internship program in 2017 in partnership with local colleges.

APAFSS just opened its new permanent Excelsior Resource Center at 4377 Mission St. Under visionary leaders Fanny Lam and Rose Chung, APAFSS now can serve more communities with parenting workshops, diaper banks, domestic violence prevention, and more in 8 languages.

Last week, APAFSS and the community celebrated for a Halloween Parade! Families, kids, and neighbors of all ages dressed in fun costumes filled the streets with laughter and joy. From superheroes to princesses to tiny ghosts, everyone showed up and showed OUT!
