LANCASTER – Residents of two Lancaster neighborhoods now have access to valuable support and resources close to home. The Children’s Center of the Antelope Valley (CCAV) and its partners are offering programs and support via Neighborhood Health Homes located at 422 East Landsford Street and 1102 West Avenue H-5.

Resources available within these homes include:

  • Classes in anger management, parenting and other healthy life skills.
  • Job readiness support, including resume creation and interview coaching.
  • Immunizations and basic healthcare services.
  • Consultations with CCAV community ambassadors to get connected with valuable social services programs.

More resources will be added in the coming weeks.

“By operating out of Neighborhood Health Homes, we can extend our reach and impact more people who utilize our programs and services,” said CCAV Executive Director Sue Page. “We are the new neighbor most people would love to have — friendly, helpful and reliable.”

CCAV is looking for donations to help equip the homes with the supplies they need. Anyone interested in donating, can order from the organization’s Amazon Smile Charity Wish List. The list is available on ccav.org/connect or by searching for “The Children’s Center of the Antelope Valley” on Amazon Smile.

Lancaster’s Neighborhood Health Homes  are designed to bring health and wellness programming directly to neighborhoods that need it most.

“The Lancaster City Council and I are proud to have established partnerships with nonprofit organizations that allow us to collectively help local residents overcome a multitude of challenges and barriers,” said Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris. “The Children’s Center has played an important role in this community for more than 30 years, and we know local residents will benefit from the organization’s presence in these two Neighborhood Health Homes.”

Founded in 1988 Children’s Center of the Antelope Valley is a nonprofit organization that provides a continuum of services aimed at breaking the cycle of trauma. For more information, visit ccav.org.

    • We all make choices and then have to live with the results of our actions. You chose to have 5 kids – don’t expect other people to pay for your home. Smart people get the home first and then have the kids, then most stick with a couple.

      • You know nothing of her circumstances and yet you believe you are entitled to judge her. Why? What gives you that right?

    • Cindy…Best to call the people that can help you and your children. Posting here invites trolls.

  2. I also think what you all are doing is great for everyone. I wish you could help me but I don’t think you can in that sense. Thank you for your support.

  3. I’ve been trying to find a place to live for the past 4 months .I’m disabled and have a lot wrong.
    And I’m trying to get most of my problems fixed. But some will not go. Like Parkinson’s disease. I’ve tried applying for hud and section 8 still have not been able to get in there. I live in Lancaster ca. It would be nice to get something out here cheap. Don’t know how to go about it.
