Families Uniting Families Project Fatherhood

We are Families Uniting Families - and that is exactly what we do!

In Long Beach, many dads face huge challenges, but very few services are built with them in mind. That’s where we come in. Everything about Project Fatherhood is designed just for dads: our welcoming space, our licensed staff, and our judgment-free 1-on-1 support. We don’t offer quick fixes. Instead, we walk alongside fathers for as long as it takes—three months or even eight years—helping them become the parents their kids need. We focus on real change. This is deep, healing work, and it works.

We provide one-on-one clinical case management, parenting classes, family & play therapy, parent coaching, peer-mentoring with support groups, legal assistance, employment training, job placement, financial planning, and we help families find stable and high quality housing.

Our results speak for themselves! Thanks to our program...

99.8% of dads who were separated from their children reunited	Over 100 justice-impacted dads gained careers at major employers
Over 100 unhoused families are now in safe, permanent housing	Over 90% of dads attended three+ school events with their children

Your gift helps children grow up safe, loved, and connected to their families—while giving parents the stability they need to succeed.

Every donation keeps families together and gives kids the futures they deserve.
