Toussaint Academy in downtown San Diego has operated from 1404 Fifth Avenue at Ash Street since 1992 as a licensed group home serving homeless youth ages 14 through 18 under the operational umbrella of Father Joe's Villages (Toussaint Youth Villages Inc., EIN 91-2154722). The program provides 30 transitional-living beds alongside individualized case management, academic support, wellness education, substance-abuse counseling, and nutritional meals — a residential model that connects to the same youth-referral network maintained by San Diego Youth Coalition. Residents attend classes at partner schools including Monarch School, San Diego's K-12 campus dedicated to students experiencing homelessness, where credit-recovery and online coursework help close the gaps created by years of school transfers and street life. More than 1,100 homeless youth have moved through the academy since its founding, with graduates going on to attend UCSD, earn scholarships, and enter stable employment. Youth who arrive without identification or school records can access county intake assistance and vital-document recovery through the referral infrastructure available via 211 San Diego. The academy's most intensive intervention is its full-residency track, which houses teenagers for up to 18 months while layering academic tutoring, life-skills training, and employment preparation into a structured daily schedule designed to build the self-sufficiency needed for independent living.
