I have been volunteering at Centro Multicultural La Familia for a few months now. I love it here. The staff is extremely helpful, nice, and professional. They really do care for their clients and it's easy to notice just by the way they treat their clients. They are good at helping people find resources that will help them with any needs they might have. They most of all provide a lot of emotional support which is something that a good number of clients need a lot of. It is definitely a place that makes their clients feel safer and supported.
Amazing free services for the community, if you are a victim of a crime, of a survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault, if you need help with any other issues please call them, they can give you information and referrals to other services around you!
The staff are all bilingual English-Spanish
Centro Multicultural provides indispensable support to our community.

I am a liaison for Pontiac School District. I serve approximately 1700 Spanish speaking families. El Centro Multicultural La Famila have served this community with all of their therapeutic needs, physical needs, law inquires, etc. I have to say that El Centro Multicultural la Familia is one of the very few organizations in Pontiac who respects the rights of the people, treat them with respect and make them feel welcome. As a community leader I have to say that I am very thankful for all the work they do and I appreciate their service to the community.
Centro Multicultural La Familia has been a leading service provider in the community for at least 20 years, that I have known them, probably longer. It is undeniable that the assistance, guidance and services they provide affect the daily lives of the many persons that come to their offices seeking help. I have been involved with them, as a volunteer and supporter for many years and can attest to their personal involvement and commitment to the community and the clients they serve

I perform volunteer work at this agency and have had the benefit of observing their work, professionalism, activism and energy up close, The employees, care workers, social workers and everyone at the agency truly cares about the well being of the community and any other communities well beyond theirs. The director, Dr Sonia Acosta, is always looking for new programs that can fit the community's needs and works extra hard defining and applying for these needed service grants.
It's a blessing to have an organization like Centro Multicultural La Familia in the heart of Pontiac. They are in so many ways the voice of vulnerable women, men, and children. El Centro is that shining light of hope that people in a crisis situation can reach out to. They help those suffering of substance abuse, and victims of domestic violence, but also help the community with other needs providing wrap around services.
I have worked in a professional capacity with members of Centro Multicultural La Familia, especially Blanca Mares, for several years. Blanca has been an intricate part of the Oakland County Coordinating Council Against Domestic Violence and was recently elected as a member of the Steering Committee due to her participation on the Council and her dedication to survivors of domestic violence. She gone above and beyond by becoming a member on both the Farmington Hills and Auburn Hills High Risk Domestic Violence Response Teams.
In 17 years of being employed, I have never worked for such an amazing organization until now. I love and appreciate the family culture, the fact that everyone always works together, the fact that our clients always come first, the fact that we often times go above and beyond to ensure that we are meeting our clients needs within our limits. I can go on for days bragging about my enjoyment of being a part of such a great team! I wouldn't have it any other way.
they work really hard to help the community with so many free bilingual services, everyone is nice and very helpful, they provide services in the area of domestic violence, sexual assault, bullying, child abuse and referral to other agencies that they collaborated together
It was been a pleasure working with the CMLF staff in supporting and providing social services support to the Latinx community. I have been a volunteer there for more than 5 years and now serve of the Board of Directors.
Una agencia increible y todo su personal es muy amable y respetuoso. Te ayudan de corazon y no les importa avanzar una milla extra para ayudarte a lograr tus metas. Yo apoyo a Centro Multiucltural La Familia.
Centro is one of the only non-profits in the area that truly works on trauma informed care and services and meets clients where they are at. In the society we live today, more agencies need to look to Centro for guidance as a model for what they should be doing to help under-served communities.
Each member of the Centro Muticultural staff and especially its leadership are outstanding advocates for their clients. They combine experience, empathy, dogged determinism, and a love for what they do to enhance the lives of everyone.
This organization is lean but serves so many wonderful people in the greater Pontiac and Oakland County community. Health, parenting, and counseling programs abound and the doors are always open. I'm so proud to support Centro Multicultural La Familia!

Centro Multicultural La Familia provides excellent services for the entire family, focusing on wholistic health - the same person can receive mental health services, engage in a domestic violence support group, enroll in the Early Head Start program for his/her children, and be a part of exercise and nutrition classes. Even better, these services are available in both English and Spanish.
I am very glad to know that Centro Multicultural La Familia is there for the Hispanic community. The personal there are very attentive, very respectful and they are always willing to help as much as they can.
