Crisis House in Santee, established in 1970 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 1978 under EIN 33-0217339, was the first community-based social service agency in the East County region of San Diego. The Cuyamaca Street headquarters coordinates the largest domestic-violence housing program in East County — emergency, transitional, and permanent placement for 217 families and 435 children annually — within a behavioral-health corridor that includes Grow Through Life Counseling Santee in the same building complex. Camp HOPE, the agency's trauma-informed mentorship and camping program evaluated annually by the University of Oklahoma's Hope Research Center, enrolls 125-plus children who have witnessed domestic violence. East County Housing Connections, a mobile outreach team under the Crisis House umbrella, connected 246 individuals experiencing homelessness to case management and wraparound services in the most recent reporting period — coordinating legal referrals through providers such as Lim Law Offices on the same Cuyamaca Street block. The agency's integrated service model delivers 18,000-plus annual interventions — spanning crisis intake, safety planning, employment navigation, and housing-locator support — to more than 5,000 individuals across the eastern region of San Diego County.
