Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Our community la leverages technology to connect youth, families and adults in need or experiencing homeless to easily connect to essential resources. Founded by denise mccain-tharnstrom and a few volunteers who believed that no one, especially a young person, or family, deserves to be hungry or without a roof, ocla is committed to social justice and envisions a world in which no one will be unhoused or resource-insecure simply because they do not know how to find help. Those who are without housing or who are in need of essential supportive services will know that they are valued, their dignity and privacy are respected and that they have the power to search for and choose the help they need to build a life out of poverty or abuse. Understanding that the homeless and resource-insecure have smart phones (thanks in part to the federal lifeline program), ocla uses technology to directly serve those who are homeless or at risk with its free programs: the user-friendly mobile applicati

Our children la (ocla) is a volunteer-led, 501(c)3 organization that leverages technology for social good for the benefit of homeless and nearly-homeless individuals. Using mobile communication and web-based resources, ocla empowers homeless and at-risk youth, families and adults to facilitate positive change in their lives. Ocla delivers three primary programs: the win (what i need) mobile app (which empowers vulnerable and resource-insecure individuals to locate the services they need to build a life out of poverty; the directory of services for homeless, which offers up-to-date resource listing used by librarians, teachers and social workers to connect homeless youth, adults and families to needed services; and the ourchildrenla.org website, which hosts the web version of the app and the pdf of the directory along with promoting community awareness about the plight of the homeless and lifting up change ideas and research.

IRS990/MissionDesc0OUR CHILDREN LA (OCLA) WAS FOUNDED BY DENISE MCCAIN-THARNSTROM AND A FEW VOLUNTEERS WHO BELIEVED THAT NO ONE, ESPECIALLY A YOUNG PERSON, DESERVES TO BE HUNGRY OR WITHOUT A ROOF. OCLA BEGAN WITH THE CONCEPT OF A WEBSITE TO BUILD AWARENESS AND SUPPORT FOR HOMELESS YOUTH....BUT SOON REALIZED THAT SO MUCH MORE WAS NEEDED. UNDERSTANDING THAT TECHNOLOGY ACTUALLY IS THE BEST WAY TO REACH UNDERSERVED YOUTH POPULATIONS IN TODAY'S WORLD, OCLA DEVELOPED WIN, A MOBILE APP DESIGNED TO CONNECT LA COUNTY'S HOMELESS AND NEARLY HOMELESS TO SERVICES. WIN IS AVAILABLE IN THE MOBILE APP STORES AND IS ADDITIONALLY HOSTED ON OCLA'S WEBSITE. OCLA ALSO PUBLISHES THE ONLY COMPREHENSIVE COUNTY-WIDE RESOURCE GUIDE FOR HOMELESS YOUTH/ FAMILIES/ADULTS. THE GUIDE IS AVAILABLE ON OCLA'S WEBSITE AS WELL AS VIA HARD COPY AND IS USED BY TEACHERS, LIBRARIES AND OTHERS IN SETTINGS WHERE A MOBILE APP IS NOT AS USEFUL OR APPROPRIATE.
