Opening Doors for Homeless in our Community
|
From Guest Contributor, Lisa Shaffer
Lisa Shaffer stopped by our center to get a behind-the-scenes look at our Encinitas Opening Doors Pilot Program, a partnership with the City of Encinitas to address homelessness in our community. Thanks to the success of this program, 66 people who were living on the streets in North County now have a place to call home!
Read more about this innovative program in Lisa's article.

"The perception is that most people who are homeless are alcoholics or drug addicts. I'm a college graduate ... a Marine Corps veteran ... I just got sick and I couldn't fight the sickness."
- Michael Williams

A new look in our Integrative Services offices
|
|
A big thank you to CRC Board member, Carl Wright (owner of Lotus Cafe and Juice Bar), and Ali, community volunteer and master carpenter, who have again brought transformation to another program at CRC. Past renovation projects for CRC have included our Resale Stores and Administrative Offices.
CRC and the Integrative Services team are so grateful for the upgrade that has improved the use of space and brought a fresh new look to the office!
