Via Avanta

Pacoima, CA
(Address not disclosed as some residents have struggled with domestic violence issues)
(818) 897-2609

For more than 30 years, Via Avanta — “the way forward” in Spanish — has been a haven for women struggling with substance use disorder, mental illness, domestic violence, and poverty. Among the nation’s first programs to recognize the importance of keeping young children and mothers together during treatment, Via Avanta offers women a chance to heal in an environment of safety, respect, and dignity. While learning to manage their illnesses, they build interpersonal and life skills through all kinds of communal activities, from caring for children to maintaining the residence.
