JEWISH ORPHAN'S HOME OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
VISTA DEL MAR
HAMBURGER HOME FOR YOUNG WOMEN
Founded as the JEWISH ORPHAN'S HOME OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA in 1908, it served children in that capacity for many years. With the breakdown of the family unit and other changes in society, the agency modified its programs to respond to the growing demands in the community. Now called VISTA DEL MAR CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES, it provides a wide range of social services to children, many of whom have been abused, neglected or abandoned.
The following is a history time line of the institution:
