Civic and Community

Children's Institute, Inc. (CII), a 103-year-old children's service agency, is constructing a new campus located near the comer of Temple and Alvarado Streets just west of downtown Los Angeles. The new Otis Booth Campus will be comprised of three buildings that collectively provide more than 48,000 square feet of space and includes CII's new headquarters. The new facility will enable CII to bring life-changing services to 5,000 additional children and families whose lives have been affected by violence, including child abuse, domestic violence, and gang and community violence. Scheduled for completion in Fall 2010, the Otis Booth Campus will enable CII to fully realize its comprehensive, community-based services model; expand its capacity to develop and disseminate new programs; increase its impact on the larger field of children's services through its training and research activities; and realize its strategic goal of doubling the number of children and families served from 10,000 to 20,000 by 2011.
