About allcove Beach Cities

allcove Beach Cities will offer mental and physical health services, education and employment assistance, peer and family support, and substance use prevention programs for young people ages 12-25 in the greater South Bay. Learn more.

The center is funded by the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission through a $2 million, 4-year grant, with technical assistance provided by Stanford’s Center for Youth Mental Health & Well-Being. Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) was endorsed by the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health to apply for the funds.

In addition to the state grant, BCHD received $1 million from Congress for allcove Beach Cities when President Joe Biden signed the $1.5 trillion omnibus spending package into law in March 2022. This funding is one of ten community projects that were requested and championed by Congressman Ted Lieu to serve California’s 33rd Congressional District.
