Community Resource Center

There are over 2,000 families eligible to receive food stamps in the North County coastal communities. This is still far below the low county average of 27%. Community Resource Center (CRC) aims to increase this region’s food stamp registration rate to equal or exceed the county average. SDSVP is inspired by the wide assortment of programs and services that CRC offers including hunger and homeless prevention and intervention, domestic violence emergency shelter, transitional housing, therapeutic children’s center, education and prevention programs. With SDSVP support, CRC will realign their food services to a more outcome-based model and embark on a major organizational transformation through a build-out of their existing transitional housing facilities. These endeavors will double the amount of transitional housing CRC can offer to women and children escaping domestic violence. SDSVP will provide expertise in strategic planning, fundraising, board

“The entire staff and board of CRC is thrilled to have the skills and passion of SVP involved in our organization. We are already experiencing a positive strategic shift in approach to our services thanks to the involvement of SVP partners.”
