Father Joe’s Villages has helped more than 5,600 people achieve permanent housing in the last 5 years alone. How do we do it?

THE STREETS ARE NOT A HOME

At least 9,000 people are experiencing homelessness every night in San Diego. Of those, nearly 5,000 men, women and children lie down to sleep each night on sidewalks, in doorways, canyons and alleys. They live without regular access to food or water, and no place to use the bathroom, wash their hands, bathe or do laundry.

People who are homeless are at greater risk of serious illness, mental health issues, substance abuse and violence.

“These are neighbors not strangers. They are somebody’s son, daughter. They’re just in trouble but there’s a way to help.”
