City of Pasadena selects Flintridge as "institutional home" for violence prevention efforts

Flintridge was recommended and supported by a coalition of community groups and, as a result, selected by the City of Pasadena to serve as the community-based “institutional home” for local service providers addressing community violence. In addition to convening providers and developing greater collaboration in closing critical service gaps, particularly for at-risk young adults ages 17 through 25, we work with city agencies to ensure that services and policies are better coordinated to prevent and reduce outbreaks of violence.

…. Flintridge exemplifies all of the Gap Analysis conditions set forth for choosing an existing nonprofit as an Institutional Home: appropriate mission and stability; interactive ties with government and highly impacted communities; management and planning skills; and commitment to collaborative leadership …. Because of its established record of successfully promoting cooperative partnerships within the community, we endorse with much enthusiasm and without reservation the choice of Flintridge ….
