About Us
The Consortium is made possible through generous support from First 5 LA and LA Partnership for Early Childhood Investment. Backbone support for the Consortium is provided by LA Best Babies Network.
Powered by our network.
The Los Angeles County Perinatal and Early Childhood Home Visitation Consortium (LACPECHVC, or the Consortium) is a network of over 60 perinatal and early childhood home visitation programs, family and child health organizations, advocacy groups, and stakeholders.
Together, we work to support Los Angeles County’s home visitation programs by sharing training and educational resources, researching best practice standards, supporting enhanced referral systems between programs, conducting research and collecting data on home visiting outcomes, and advocating for systems and policies that recognize the tremendous value of home visitation services.
Anchored by our vision.
Our children: Healthy, safe and thriving
Our families: Supported, connected, resilient and self-sufficient
Our communities: Strengthened for generations to come
Our workforce: Supported, sustainable, trained and collaborative
Driven by our mission.
The Los Angeles County Perinatal and Childhood Home Visitation Consortium convenes and coordinates organizations to strengthen collective capacity around advancing racial equity, centering family voice, sustaining quality practices, influencing policy, and growing funding, so that all expectant and parenting individuals have access to support, and LA’s children are healthy, safe, and ready to learn.
Our Anti-Racism Commitment
Statement
In Los Angeles County, children of color, particularly Black and Latinx, face disproportionate barriers to positive education and health outcomes. We believe that through collective action, The Consortium can work to address these systemic inequities by building structures that intentionally provide targeted resources for families living in communities that have experienced historical and deliberate divestment.
We define being an anti-racist organization as creating an environment where all children, families, and those who support them can thrive regardless of race or geographic location. We are committed to creating an anti-racist culture that is reflected through our policies, practices, and activities. We will accomplish this by challenging ourselves to address racism and its impact on children's health and well-being and correct systemic racism and any resulting inequities within the Consortium.
As a learning community, we will purposefully strive to identify, discuss, and address issues that prevent us from becoming an anti-racist and ethnically unbiased community. We hope that through our commitment, we will become a model for anti-racist practice that elicits a change in the home visiting system.
