What is the Contra Costa Family Nest?
A Network For Empowerment & Support- Together!
The Nest is Being Built- Twig by Twig!
A community-built, trauma-informed birth center for Contra Costa County is in development — with the mission to expand access, improve outcomes, and support families and birth professionals throughout pregnancy, birth, and early parenting.
Why Contra Costa Needs a Third Option
Families deserve more than the current hospital-only model and home birth options. A community birth center fills a critical gap in access, continuity, and choice in perinatal care — improving outcomes and supporting families with dignity.
Community Based Perinatla Care:
• Increases family-centered care choices
• Reduces interventions by offering evidence-based, holistic support
• Supports continuity and trauma-informed practices for all families
Where We Are Now
The Nest is currently in its early development phase, structured through community efforts and seed funding under PPC, LLC. Our immediate priorities include:
• Securing grant-writing and planning support
• Establishing formal operational infrastructure
• Building community and provider networks
• Launching fundraising initiatives to support growth
