ECF is undertaking an innovative approach to these services, by co-locating a private business onsite so that clients will work alongside other workers from the community. New arts studios onsite allows clients to take art lessons from professional artists and offer the opportunity for clients to sell their art on Amazon. Com. A new kitchen facility also teach clients about nutrition and healthy eating. ECF had been serving Los Angeles County since 1946.
