Since 2013, The City of Hayward, Alameda County (County), and Hayward Area Recreation and Parks District (HARD) have worked towards a shared vision of constructing and operating a new center at the corner of Tennyson and Ruus Roads called the South Hayward Youth and Family Center (SHYFC). The project site is on City-owned property and located at 680 West Tennyson Road. 

In 2015, the City, County, and HARD formed the SHYFC Governance Group. To date, the Governance Group has identified a portion of the funding for the project, selected a non-profit operator, and conducted a Request for Proposals process to select RossDrulisCusenbery, Inc (RDC) for the design phases of the project. In 2018, La Familia was added to the Governance Group as the selected Lead Operator for the future Center.
