Path Cited Implementation: Path is a community grant which McKinley received in order to create four different family resource centers across Southern California. These centers are each run by two peer specialists. The specialists assist with finding resources for the community in which individuals and families can access to gain information about community programs such as Medi-Cal, CalFresh, and CalAims as well as additional resources to be linked to, such as physical, mental health, and housing services. In addition, each of the family resource centers coordinate a free monthly community activity and parenting and/or life skills groups.
