This place deserves a lot more credit than it gets because they are involved in extremely difficult situations at times, and they are doing so much to help.

This is one of the best nonprofit organizations when it comes to those who need a companion animal…read moreand cannot afford the incredibly high prices of those specially trained through other agencies. This program works in such a way that the dog "belongs" to the organization in the event that for some reason it isn't a good fit for the individual, and they do routine checks to make sure that everything is going well and the dog is being well taken care of. There are some other organizations that have a $10,000 buying for a canine companion, and the dog is thoroughly trained specifically for the individual who will receive it. The dogs in these cases usually belong to the individual that has purchased the canine companion, which is why the oversight offered through this particular organization is something that make this one of the standout organizations of its kind. They follow the family, monitor the progress, make sure its a good fit, and since the dogs have a variety of different skill sets that they can assist with they can help with a multitude of different disabilities and assistance provided to the individual who is chosen to receive the canine companion. I think it's done very responsibly and they do reserve the right to take the dog back if there are soy signs of inability to properly care for it or if there is any indication of neglect or abusive behavior. All of thee dogs are socializad in training, and they all are geared toward a multitude of disabilities, making it one of the most comprehensive canine companion programs I have ever personally seen. I have volunteered with this organization and have known many people who have waited on a years-long list for quite some time to be able to get a canine companion without having to spend thousands of dollars...which is a godsend for those families who live in disability or have low income. This is a wonderful nonprofit organization, and they work very hard to ensure that when they match a canine companion with an individual in need, it is with the appropriate skill sets that can meet the needs of the individuals receiving the canine companion. There is a main office located right here in Oceanside, and I have seen many of their presentations, each make me like the program even more every time I see a presentation on the program. This is beneficial on all levels, and sometimes can provide a much needed friend and provide some solace and companionship for those who might be lonely due to the fact that they have difficulties navigating the nuances and oftentimes confusing landscape of the social world. These canine companions are more than just animals companions...they are truly friends for those individuals who are fortunate enough to be able to qualify for one and not have to wait on a waiting list for long periods of time...although it is hit or miss with these places, depending on supply and demand, whereas with the companies you go through and pay thousands of dollars for a socially trained companion animal, they are yours to have and the company does not retain any kind of ownership over the animal, as tis particular nonprofit organization does. The only drawback is because the program is free, it can sometimes take a very long time for the individual to be paired with a canine companion... depending on how long the waiting list is. All in all, this is one of the most wonderful nonprofits I have ever had the pleasure of being able to connect with and volunteer with, and I truly hope there are more organizations that follow this pattern in the future, as the change in the recipients of these companion animals is discernible. This holds true especially those that do not require thousands of dollars to "buy in" when it comes to finding the perfect companion for your disabled loved one (or any other need for a companion:support animal).

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!
