History

Established in 1889.

FACES SF is the integrated entity of two longstanding family support organizations in San Francisco. On July 1, 2011, following an extensive due diligence process, Florence Crittenton Services merged with Whitney Young Child Development Center. The integration was a natural development, as the two organizations had compatible missions, served the same population, and combined had more than 170 years of experience serving low-​income children and families in San Francisco. The mission of FACES-​SF is serving the needs and well-​being of San Francisco’s young children; empowering families to become self-​sufficient.
