Most families served by Coalition agencies lived within stigmatized and economic depressed areas, with social stagnation and high incidences of disruptive and destructive behaviors. Programs around the Latino community facilitate access to individuals and their families in need, or referrals to other specialized services. Since its inception in 2011, the LBHC member agencies has served a combined total of about 100,000 individuals and 35,000 families.

LBHC agencies provide an entry point into a system of ongoing care coordination and a person-focused approach for individuals and their families. Harm reduction is a tenant of the Coalition, as a “one-size-fits-all” approach is never the goal. Specific tailored services leads to good care, which in turn may lead to fewer avoidable hospitalizations and reduction of expenses. De-centralizing programs across the community, each with its own scope of specialization, along with collaboration between member agencies, expands the LBHC reach into the community.

In the short history of the LBHC, the Coalition has proven to be a social and economic engine for the community. When possible, positions are offered to local residents, who learn new skills, preparing them further for the work force. Member agencies utilize a mix of employees, contractors and volunteers. From professional to technical, from administrative to front line staff, from temporary to full time, over 1200 sources of meaningful working experience has been created throughout time with Coalition member agencies.
