MAAC Community Center in Chula Vista anchors the Third Avenue campus of the Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee on Anti-Poverty of San Diego County, a nonprofit founded in 1965 that now assists over 100,000 individuals annually through education, housing, workforce development, and recovery services. The 1387 Third Avenue facility hosts monthly Commodity Supplementary Food Program distributions serving approximately 2,100 low-income seniors per event, VITA tax-preparation clinics, and Head Start enrollment — a social-service density that complements the workforce-training pipeline at Southwestern College less than two miles south on Otay Lakes Road. MAAC's housing division manages 876 apartment units across seven properties in San Diego County, including Seniors on Broadway in Chula Vista, addressing the county's subsidized-housing gap for low-to-moderate-income families. The organization's advocacy and leadership-development programming runs alongside community partners such as Sweetwater Woman's Club, mobilizing residents around policy initiatives that strengthen South Bay neighborhoods. The Nosotros residential recovery program operates a 17-bed dormitory for Medi-Cal recipients treating substance-use disorders and co-occurring mental-health conditions, with a minimum three-month commitment covering evidence-based individual and group therapy, psychoeducation workshops, and employment-readiness services.
