Programs range from Environmental Justice, Civic Engagement, Health & Social Services, Arts & Culture, and Education.
The mission of Casa Familiar is to enhance the quality of life for people living in underserved and underrepresented communities. Casa Familiar envisions healthy, just, and sustainable communities that reach our full potential.
