A Bit About North County Center:
North County Center is a resource center where LGBTQI+ people can thrive. The Center addresses disparities (health, economic, educational, and social) through a house first model and a harm reduction approach. The Center promotes the dignity of those they serve and their inclusiveness through the delivery of many unique programs like Free Mental Health Services, Shelter and Home Services, and Medical Assisted Treatment to name a few.
The Center is currently facing a massive cut in grant funding both on the federal and state level. In a time where LGBTQI+ rights are being taken away, supporting local resources dedicated to defending those rights is especially important. The Center just purchased a new building in Oceanside that provides:
- An exclusive space dedicated to safe and supervised youth gatherings
- A second exclusive space dedicated to Behavioral Health services (this is the only behavioral health department in the San Diego region that provides gender affirming care and services for transgender and non-binary community members)
- A third exclusive space dedicated to senior services, case management, food distribution, service delivery, and community gathering and networking
- The Center also has the goal to build affordable housing units above the space to offer temporary and long-term housing to those in need.
