2024 Grant Award Recipients
Safe & Stable Housing Fund Grants
The Safe & Stable Housing Fund has been established by residents raising funds to ensure youth up to age 26 and seniors in North County San Diego remain safe, stable and in homes of their own.
Specifically, programs funded provide just-in-time “flex funding” to bridge a short-term gap in resources to our neighbors to avoid eviction or homelessness or provide funds to keep them out of crisis while focusing on long-term solutions (i.e., utilities, rent, medical bills, car repair, etc.). through homelessness prevention and/or diversion efforts.
