ROSEMEAD, CA, UNITED STATES, July 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Maryvale Celebrates Seton House Expansion with Congresswoman Judy Chu to Support More Unhoused Families in Los Angeles County

Maryvale, Los Angeles County’s first children’s charity, officially kicked off construction for the expansion of its Seton House temporary housing program with a special event at its Rosemead campus. The expansion will add 20 individual family suites with private bathrooms, increasing Seton House’s capacity to 29 family units. Each suite will provide safe, stable temporary housing for one mother and up to two children.

The event brought together community leaders—including Congresswoman Judy Chu and representatives from local City Councils—to celebrate this significant milestone. With a long history of serving vulnerable families, Maryvale continues to meet the community's urgent needs through its programs in early childhood education, mental health, and substance use services across the San Gabriel Valley.

“This expansion is a reflection of our deep commitment to helping families heal and rebuild,” said Steve Gunther, CEO of Maryvale. “We are proud to expand Seton House and meet the urgent temporary housing needs in Los Angeles County.”

The Seton House program, part of Maryvale’s continuum of care, offers trauma-informed case management, onsite integrative services, and a safe, nurturing environment where women and their children can rebuild their lives. Services include parenting and life skills training, job and housing search support, financial literacy, mental health care, early childhood education, and individual and group counseling. This expansion project will allow Maryvale the opportunity to serve 40–50 more families annually, more than tripling Seton House’s impact in providing families the opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives.

This expansion marks a milestone in Maryvale’s 170-year legacy and reflects its recent recognition as a 2025 California Nonprofit of the Year.
