First 5 LA

In 2006, ICA-USA had a significant contract with the First 5 LA Partnership for Families (PFF) Initiative in Los Angeles, California. The purpose of the PFF Initiative is to create a network of resources that provide opportunities for families, communities, and county systems to meaningfully participate in the prevention of child maltreatment.

Through the Initiative, First 5 LA has funded a collaborative of agencies in each of the eight Service Planning Areas in Los Angeles County; the role of ICA-USA is to provide facilitation support for capacity building in each of the collaboratives.
