Agency Description

Tides was founded in 1983 by Brother Michael Reis, a DeLaSalle Christian Brother, with $15,000 seed money.  The Lasallian mission is to serve the neediest and poorest families in the community.  Brother Michael realized interventions needed to happen before kids were placed in out-of –home care.  He founded a much-needed “agency without walls” where outreach workers and clinical social workers meet with and provide critical services to youth in their homes, neighborhoods and schools.  Today, we provide 24/7 services 365 days a year through 120 staff and an $8 million budget
