Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS), a nonprofit funded by Proposition 47 grants, provides vital community services such as clinical psychology treatment and connections to employment and housing opportunities.

We will continue to stand with survivors, advocate for resources, and build the trauma-informed care that our communities deserve. Our doors are always open to those we serve and those we have yet to reach.
