CONSTANZA PACHON

Chief Executive Officer The Whole Child

In four short years, Constanza Pachon has used her tremendous managerial and mentoring talents to transform the nonprofit The Whole Child into a leading organization committed to reducing family homeless and improving children’s mental health. This comes from her own lived experience of homelessness as a child, which has become her legacy to transform the lives of women and children from ones of day-today trauma to ones of security and stability. During her tenure, the agency has grown from $9.4 million annual revenue to $21 million, and from 88 to 162 employees, with many new service sites.

Among Pachon’s most significant accomplishments, she has undertaken three capital projects for organization, two to increase housing stock for families experiencing homelessness, and one to create the first “one-stop” service shop for families experiencing homelessness in the 26 communities of Southeast Los Angeles, where services have been scarce for these struggling families.
