We Empower Individuals to Act with Self-Determination
About Crisis House
Crisis House provides humanitarian services to those in crisis in East San Diego County. The individuals we support struggle to overcome complex and challenging circumstances, including homelessness, domestic violence, addiction, health conditions, and lack of access to food and housing.
Crisis House responds immediately to connect people to services that can help resolve life-endangering situations so they can renew their lives.
Crisis House was established in 1970 in Santee, CA by a small group of local citizens who recognized the need to provide emergency services to very low income, homeless and underserved people. The organization later moved to Main Street in El Cajon, expanded services to support families, became a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity in 1978, and were the first community-based social service agency in the East County region of San Diego.
The mission of Crisis House is to respond immediately to stop the cycle of domestic violence and homelessness and connect families and individuals to crucial resources that empower them to renew their lives.
At Crisis House, our trained, trauma-informed staff and volunteers respond immediately to people experiencing crises. We connect them to services that can help stop life-threatening circumstances and put them on a path to renew their lives.
Today we continue to strengthen the lives of more than 5,000 people, connecting them to 18,000 services annually, thanks to our generous donors.
We solve homelessness for 99% of the families and individuals who graduate from our housing programs and we prevent thousands from experiencing homelessness each year. We keep people safe in our Journey Programs serving women and children fleeing from domestic violence.
