About This Cause
Over the past 100 years of service Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego (CCDSD) has adapted and changed to assist the most vulnerable in San Diego with the best tools and resources to provide the greatest outcomes for the individuals we serve. CCDSD has been successful in doing this by listening to the individuals we serve as well as the ideas our team has brought to the organization. Over the past 5 years the homeless population had changed. CCDSD has adapted our programs by initiating trauma informed training for our staff to offer a seamless continuum of care designed to assist homeless to break the cycle of homelessness, stabilize their lives, receive essential social, health and behavioral health services, and, as feasible, reintegrate into society. CCDSD's foundation approaches the individuals that come to our programs as "whole" individuals and address multiple areas in their lives to better assist them.
