Organizational Overview

Center Point is a private, not-for-profit corporation providing comprehensive, integrated services to at-risk individuals and families. Founded in 1971, Center Point offers services in Marin, Contra Costa, Solano, Riverside, San Diego, San Joaquin, and Sacramento Counties. Center Point is governed by a Community Board of Directors comprised of individuals from the civic, business, legal, financial, and educational sectors of the Bay Area. The Board of Directors meets with senior management to establish annual goals and objectives and to review major organizational, programmatic, and fiscal milestones. There is a strong volunteer component originating from a number of sources: former clients, family members, concerned citizens, students, and members of the community. Programs are either licensed by the California Department of Social Services or licensed and certified by the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Program. Center Point does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, physical handicap, medical condition, age, marital status, ancestry, or ability to pay.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive social, educational, vocational, medical, psychological, housing, and rehabilitation services to combat social problems such as substance abuse, poverty, unemployment, and homelessness. Center Point offers rehabilitation and treatment services that interrupt the abusive cycles of psychological, social, and economic dislocation by providing critical training and support so that individuals and families can claim self-worth and dignity.
