About Us
The Interfaith Shelter Network is collaborative of religious, social service, and government entities arrayed to help homeless members of the San Diego family.
The Network consists of two programs:
The Rotational Shelter
and El Nido Transitional Living
They represent the work of more than 100 San Diego County congregations and 3,500+ volunteers who link to offer hands up to people seeking an end to their homelessness. Our volunteers and congregations collectively have sheltered over 7,500 people for approximately 184,000 nights since 1986. More than half of these guests leave our shelters for their own housing because of the professional direction and the shower of affection they receive from Network volunteers.
Our Mission
To coordinate the efforts of participating congregations, social service agencies, and governmental programs in order to provide shelter and other resources to homeless individuals and families and enable those we serve to move toward self-sufficiency while respecting their dignity as children of God.
Our Vision
Our Vision is to eliminate homelessness in the urban communities of San Diego County through a cooperative partnership with faith-based communities, related government programs, and social service agencies.
The Interfaith Shelter Network does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age or disabilities in hiring practice or provision of services.
The Interfaith Shelter Network is a program supported by the City and County of San Diego, the cities of Chula Vista, La Mesa, Oceanside, and San Marcos, and private donations.
