Downey Side...Families for Youth

Mission Statement

Downey Side's philosophy is rooted in the conviction that every chid has the right to a permanent family. It is our purpose to work in partnership with the government as a licensed adoption agency to place America's waiting children who otherwise would remain homeless. We are dedicated to family life for all children and strongly believe that a healthy permanent relationship is the best prevention against homelessness.

Downey Side has the additional purpose of leading members of each community to become advocates for children in need.
