The lived experience of over 50% of Amity’s direct services faculty creates a natural affinity for the work of the community-based organizations that will provide services under CFCI and non-CFCI funds. Amity also brings a wealth of experience providing Third-Party Administrator services and currently administers well over $30 million annually to numerous community-based organizations throughout Los Angeles County and the State of California.
