Soroptimist Transitional Housing

The need for housing to support survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking is great in the San Diego area. We have been providing housing since 1997 and need more to meet the need. We have 5 small two-bedroom apartments and would love to apply for more with your help!

Annual Program Dependent Upon Donations

This 12-18 month program is post shelter housing (Crisis House) and moves families from dependency and abuse to a safe, self-sustaining lifestyle by providing housing, financial help, and mentoring.

Soroptimist members come together to subsidize, furnish, clean and decorate each apartment. This includes not only beds, couches, tables, chairs, televisions, and vacuums, but a fully stocked food pantry, linens, kitchen items, and cleaning supplies.

When the family has maintained self-sufficiency and is ready to move on to an independent lifestyle, they have the option of taking everything with them.

The Poway and North San Diego Clubs have been helping Domestic Violence Survivors reclaim their lives in a positive, supportive environment since 1997. We have assisted over 90 mothers and more than 200 children to date. This program enjoys a success rate of about 80% and is highly motivational.
