Casa de Amparo

Casa de Amparo is the first step towards recovery for many children who have been removed from families because of abuse or neglect. Established in 1978, Casa de Amparo serves the entire county of San Diego, although their clients come primarily from the North County cities of Oceanside, Vista, Escondido, San Marcos, and Camp Pendleton.

Since their establishment, Casa de Amparo has provided multiple services for over six thousand abused children and their families. Last year they were able to provide their support for over three hundred children and over 250 families that were at risk of abuse.
 

With a large amount of support from the community as well as volunteer work, many opportunities have been made available for hundreds of children and families in need. Lennar Charitable Housing Foundation (LCHF) has been a great support of Casa de Amparo. With the donations that come from LCHF, Casa de Amparo is building a new shelter in San Diego just outside of San Marcos. Also, the funds will help the child development center that is already standing.

Casa de Amparo has been a bright light in the lives of thousands of children in the twenty-nine years it has been in existence. It continues to provide help and hope for many.
