A warm, nurturing home environment for children

Halili, LLC

Halili Small Family Home

A California licensed Small Family Home providing individualized, compassionate care in a structured, nurturing environment for children and youth with specialized needs.

About the Home

Halili operates a California licensed Small Family Home (SFH) under the Community Care Licensing Division of the California Department of Social Services. Our home provides a safe, structured, and nurturing residential environment for children and youth who may have developmental, medical, physical, behavioral, or other specialized care needs.

As a Small Family Home, we are committed to providing individualized attention and care in a true home setting — not an institutional one. We believe every child deserves stability, dignity, and the opportunity to thrive within their community.

Our Care Philosophy

At Halili, we believe that every child deserves to be seen, valued, and supported as an individual. Our care philosophy is grounded in the following principles:

Individualized Care

We develop individualized care plans that reflect each child's unique strengths, needs, preferences, and goals. No two children are the same, and our approach reflects that.

Dignity & Respect

Every child in our home is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion — always. We maintain a home environment that affirms each child's worth and identity.

Stability & Structure

Children thrive with consistency. We provide a structured daily routine and a stable home environment that supports emotional regulation, learning, and growth.

Community Integration

We actively support children's participation in community life — school, activities, relationships, and experiences that build connection and belonging.

Collaborative Partnerships

We work closely with placing agencies, social workers, families, therapists, educators, and other professionals to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care.

Regulatory Compliance

We operate in full compliance with California licensing requirements and applicable regulations, maintaining the highest standards of care and accountability.

Referrals & Placements

Halili welcomes referrals from county agencies, regional centers, placing agencies, social workers, case managers, and other child welfare professionals. We are committed to a thoughtful, collaborative placement process that prioritizes the best interests of each child.
