Men's Shelter ***************************** New facility is magnificent! Built in 2012 this multi-million dollar building sits atop Carlsbad with beautiful views 360. State-of the-Art Kitchen, Dining Room, 50 bed dorm, migrant worker quarters, laundry, and administrative offices. Located next to the CITY OF CARLSBAD SAFETY CENTER, Police, Fire and Emergency Services, Kudos to Carlsbad, Catholic Charities, the many donors and supporters. Started about 20 years ago to provide temporary housing for migrant workers, Los Posadas has expanded it's program to include HOMELESS MEN. The program offers a 60 day no cost stay including 3 meals a day and sack lunches. Ammenities include a slate regulation pool table, outdoor BBQ, library, resources, jobs and housing board. To qualify all you need is the desire to find gainful employment, do a small chore and abide by house rules. The 60 day term is designed to get residents a chance to accumulate funds. Other charities and organizations work to help residents find jobs and housing. NOTE: City of Carlsbad and Interfaith Community Services operate a day labor program one block from the facility. Carlsbad Library and other services are available. See case worker for references. **** F O U R S T A R S ********* KUDOS TO LOS POSADAS STAFF & SUPPORTERS ********* My story: I personally benefitted as I get a small monthly stipend from Social Security. My van was impounded and I was left homeless and hopeless. During my stay I was able to accumulate enough funds to get a car. I am on a short list with Interfaith's 25 Cities Program for fast track housing placement. I would recommend this program to anyone serious about getting out of being homeless. You are required to be CLEAN & SOBER and attend AA meetings help in the dining room one a week. Thanks to everyone at Los Posadas!

This is just disgusting and outrageous you go to complain about unruly people only to have staff treat you very poorly shame on this church and why don't you have more staff to monitor what's going on and have a talk with Dan and tell him you don't come at people aggressively and in a threatening way I don't care if you don't like what you're hearing if people weren't acting up I wouldn't have had to complain two thumbs down for this so called church!!!!

Speaking of which, they are totally focused on loving their neighbors-- what Jesus said to do. All love. No judgment. Great children's program and robust youth group. Excellent music.

Working with community organizers to keep elected officials on track with their promises for affordable housing and other services to improve Encinitas and the lives of people here. They're not perfect. No group of humans is. But they love people, and are always growing and striving to be better. I highly recommend St Andrew's!

We had a choice of many different types of menus and ultimately settled on the Italian menu which was customized to our needs. Delicious food, spotless venue, a good sized dance floor, friendly and very accommodating staff who go above and beyond - what more could one ask for? We were even more impressed when we found out all the staff are volunteers, (the director is the exception). Additionally, after pricing various other venues, VANC offered good value for what they could offer us. Realizing whatever money they make on our event goes back directly to the Veteran community, made our decision to hold it here very easy. Thank you to everyone who made our special occasion even more memorable. We will be back! Cheers, B & T Bates

Under the "Programs" section of the website, there is an HIV group that meets ONCE a month. There is no onsite seniors group meeting. It's a flashy website that looks great and seems to promise a lot but when you dig into it and actually visit the location you're told to find a support group on Zoom or offsite somewhere.
