Hillsides and Bienvenidos, two of Southern California’s leading child welfare agencies are merging their operations, a move that has been in the works since October of 2015. Between the two agencies, more than 13,000 children and families are currently served in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The merge will allow them to consolidate their resources and offer expanded services.
