About the Family Resource Center

Laytonville Healthy Start Family Resource Center was established in 1997 with a California Healthy Start grant aimed at assisting families whose children attended Laytonville schools. The Center is a collaborative formulated under Harwood Memorial Park, Inc., a local non-profit organization and the Laytonville School District.

 

Laytonville Healthy Start provides a wide variety of family strengthening services.

The primary target populations for the Center are school children, youth and their families, but the Center does its best to serve anyone who walks through the door.

About the Laytonville Community

According to the 2020 Census, 1,152 people live in the greater Laytonville area, down from 1,227 in the 2010 Census. Ethnically the population of Laytonville is 15% Native American, 13% Latino, and 65% White. Fifteen percent of the population is under the age of 18.

Laytonville is located in the unincorporated area of Mendocino County and has no county agencies/satellites offices to provide health and human services for children and families. Because it is a rural and isolated community, many of the residents rely on the Family Resource Center to provide services such as Medi-Cal and Healthy families insurance sign-ups, Food Stamps (Cal Fresh), and provide referrals and information to outside agencies.
