Homelessness presents a unique challenge because it is not an isolated issue. The roots of homelessness are tangled within every other major issue we face as a county: high housing costs, low minimum wage, a lack of mental health services, substance abuse and poverty. At ECTLC, we are committed to dig anyone who is ready, out of this trench.

Thanks to ECTLC, the City of El Cajon provides the most housing resources for people experiencing homelessness out of any other city in the county per capita. Our ultimate goal is to restore lives permanently through a process of deep healing of core issues. Our process creates healthy families, healthy people, and healthy communities.
