FACE PROGRAMS Affordable Housing In 2012, FACE was successful in organizing faith and community leaders to advocate for a community benefit from J.H. Snyder, who was receiving $17 million in public funds for building a $169 million mixed use project in Koreatown. In the aftermath, FACE has partnered with AMCAL Multi-housing Inc. in developing 100 units of affordable housing, called Meridian Apartments. Consumer Education Fairs FACE actively serves underserved communities by hosting various seminars such as the Homeownership, Foreclosure, and Disaster Readiness Fairs, which serve over 1,000 low-income families and individuals annually. Affordable Care Act Assistance Our Affordable Care Act assistance has increased access to affordable health care by promoting awareness, performing outreach and education, assisting clients with Covered California insurance enrollment, and taking a leading role in health care events. Church & Non-Profit Leadership and Advocacy Training FACE has trained over 5,000 faith and community leaders how to leverage resources, navigate government, create partnerships, implement programs and services and effectively advocate for their community. FACE has also created a Faith and Community Collaborative on Mental Health and Drug Abuse to connect faith leaders with resources in the community. C2 (Church and Community) Leadership Institute FACE’s Church and Community (C2) Leadership Institute is designed to cultivate young leaders who are interested in civic engagement, public-private partnerships, and being a social justice advocate for the community while strengthening church and community partnerships. Young leaders in the C2 Leadership Institute will have opportunities to meet with various leaders in government, corporate, faith institutions and the community while equipping them with fundraising, media and government relations, partnership building, eventing, advocacy, program development, and other practical skills. Computer Literacy Training & Classes FACE provides affordable computer classes to low-income parents, seniors, and youth. Participants learn how to navigate the internet, use social media, and utilize vital software such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Successful class participants conclude with a graduation and certificate of completion. Youth and Adult Job Training and Internships FACE has trained many individuals both youth, college, adult workers, and seniors in job and leadership skills through our various internships, volunteer program, as well as city and federal programs including Americorps VISTA.
API JOB (Job Opportunities and Business Success) Initiative FACE, as lead agency, won a grant funded by the City of Los Angeles Economic and Workforce Development Department to launch the API JOBS Initiative. This initiative is the first of its kind in Los Angeles to serve the Asian Pacific Islander (API) community in providing vocational training, employment, career pathway, and community/social services to linguistically isolated participants. AAPI Youth@Work Career Pathways Initiative FACE's AAPI Career Pathways Initiative is a partnership with LA County Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services that provides youth with paid internship opportunities in public and private sectors.
