Everyone deserves the power to live a meaningful life. Unfortunately, structural inequities create barriers for too many, closing off opportunities and fueling injustice. Our programs give individuals and families a seat at the table. We facilitate growth through five Areas of Impact:

Health & Human Services

• Behavioral Health services.

  CPLC offers a wide range of behavioral health services through two programs: Centro De La Familia, housed at our Maryvale Community Service Center and Centro Esperanza in Mesa.

  CPLC DV programs provides a safe, secure place for families to heal from the traumatizing effects of abuse. Shelter and community-based services meet survivors where they are to help them discover their strengths and regain their freedom.

  De Colores is the only fully bilingual, bicultural program in the Valley providing tailored services to Spanish-speaking and immigrant populations. Specialized legal services are available to assist with orders of protection, immigration and visa paperwork, and court accompaniment.

  A range of supports including emergency shelter, legal advocacy, case management, support groups, sexual assault services, youth programs, and assistance with permanent housing and employment is available. De Colores helps more than 800 survivors become safe and self-sufficient each year.
