About Us
We are a team of professionals dedicated to improving the lives of developmentally disabled consumers and their families.
All of our efforts at Friends of SCLARC are aligned to help families achieve self-sufficiency and create a foundation for a better living situation.
We strive to create connections with other thought leaders and entities who are passionate about inclusion and improving the disparity between individuals with disabilities and adequate housing.
We help SCLARC individuals with disabled family members gain insight to their need for:
- Access to Housing
- Comprehensive Needs Assessment & Personalized Goal Development
- Life Skills Training
- Disability Advocacy

Providing Equitable
Housing Opportunities
for Special Needs families
We have earned the trust of families by providing community living services that their loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities need in order to thrive. We are a proponent group that spearheads SCLARC’s funding initiatives by soliciting charitable organizations, foundations and individuals for grant money, in-kind services and donations.
Friends of SCLARC, Inc. provides South Central Los Angeles Regional Center (SCLARC) consumers and families/caregivers with much needed funding and resources during times of emergency and for crisis intervention.
Our goal is to ensure that each SCLARC family receives the help and support that is specific to their needs. We are here to assist consumers with developmental disabilities by preparing them to reside and function in their community as independently as possible.
Our goal is to nourish the growth and independence of each special needs family we serve by expanding choices and providing an environment that supports their unique needs and individual abilities.
