CASA ESPERANZA now PATH SANTA BARBARA

What value does PATH bring for the local Santa Barbara community? PATH offers...
  • A customized approach for reducing homelessness in Santa Barbara

Onsite programs at the interim housing facility embody a "one-stop shop" model of integrated housing and resources, designed to reduce barriers for people experiencing homelessness so they can access the support they need - all under one roof.
Programs focus on the following:
  • Permanent Housing Support
  • Employment & Job Training
  • Respite Care, Healthcare Coordination & Wellness Programs
  • Recovery & Community Re-integration
  • Rental Assistance & Rapid Re-Housing
  • Neighborhood Connections & Healthy Communities
  • Community Kitchen & Food Re-Distribution
  • Support for Veterans
The interim housing program includes 100 shelter beds open 24/7, and an expansion to 200 shelter beds during the winter months of December through March.

We think that the RESPITE CARE IS MOST IMPORTANT.  People who are too ill or weak to be homeless cannot focus on moving forward.  They are the most stuck in survival.
