Last month, the Do Good Daniels Family Foundation celebrated the opening of House of Do Good 2, a 35-bed facility in Wilmington spread across five fully equipped homes on a single property. More than just shelter, it offers up to 24 months of stable transitional housing and supportive services for individuals and families who are ready to rebuild, regain stability, and move forward. The facility provides 24/7 staff support and trauma-informed care for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.
This expansion builds on the foundation’s original House of Do Good program in South Los Angeles, which has been operating for the past five years and provides 26 beds serving the same population. Together, these programs reflect the organization’s long-term commitment to supporting families on their journey toward stability and independence.
This is the latest example of the nonprofit’s growth. In October, the foundation opened a 4,000-square-foot Youth and Family Service Hub in Long Beach, serving SPA 8 and expanding access to critical services for youth and families. With locations now in San Pedro, South Los Angeles, Wilmington, and Long Beach, the foundation continues to grow its footprint while maintaining a focused, community-centered approach. The organization currently operates with a team of 17 dedicated staff members.
At its core, the Do Good Daniels Family Foundation is driven by its mission: to empower youth and families to Be Good. Do Good. Spread Good. by providing relationship-centered programs and an interconnected ecosystem of services. Through housing, economic empowerment, education, and holistic care, the foundation equips individuals and communities to thrive.
The foundation carries out this mission through its housing programs, which provide comprehensive, trauma-informed support for individuals and families impacted by domestic violence and human trafficking. These programs focus on long-term stability, offering transitional housing paired with wraparound services such as case management, advocacy, and access to critical resources. Staff work closely with each participant to build trust and develop individualized plans that support their continued growth and independence.
Beyond housing, the foundation extends its impact through its broader youth and family programming, delivering culturally relevant workshops and experiences focused on social-emotional development, communication, leadership, and personal growth. In addition, its workforce development efforts prepare young people with the skills, exposure, and opportunities needed to succeed in today’s world.
Through these combined efforts, the foundation’s goal is clear: to ensure young people and families are supported, empowered, and surrounded by the resources they need to thrive. By wrapping services and support around youth and their support systems, including those who have been violence-impacted, system-impacted, justice-involved, or simply navigating life’s challenges, the organization is building a model that moves individuals and families toward stability, opportunity, and long-term success.
