Housing and Supportive Services

After experiencing homelessness in Carlsbad, Nathan connected with CRC’s Rapid Rehousing program and began taking steps toward stability, recovery and a home of his own. Today, he is housed, employed and looking toward the future with hope.

On March 31, CRC will observe Farmworkers Day in recognition of the essential contributions farmworkers make to our food systems and communities. This observance reflects our commitment to dignity, equity and inclusion.

At 78 years old, Sylvia came to CRC seeking support after experiencing abuse and instability. With advocacy, housing support and other services, she began building a safer, more stable future and shared that she now feels “more hopeful, more secure, and brighter about the future.”

This Q&A sheds light on the realities faced by unsheltered neighbors and offers ways we can build compassion and understanding together.

Sara shares, "When I think about the profound impact of CRC counseling in my life I am moved beyond words. Did you know that there are people out there in this world whose love for others is so great and so deep that they are willing to give so that a complete stranger can have a better life?"

Liliana’s journey is one of extraordinary courage. Fleeing domestic abuse to a new country with her two young children, 9‑year‑old Lorenzo and 5‑year‑old Leonel, Liliana was determined to create a better life for her family.

At 68, Camila never expected to start over. But she was living in an abusive situation and made the courageous decision to leave.

Sheila and her two-year-old daughter, Lisa, found refuge with CRC after fleeing a dangerous situation of domestic violence.

The moment Amina and her children stepped into their new home was unforgettable. "Amina was crying tears of joy," shared CRC's Program Manager.

Once facing homelessness, Donna, a senior with a brain condition and disability, found hope and a new start at Community Resource Center. Her journey began after experiencing traumatic abuse in another state, which led her to California, where she experienced a series of short-term stays, moving from motels to safe parking programs.

Nichole, a single mother with a 5-year-old daughter, reached out to Community Resource Center for help to escape her abuser and relocate safely.
