What if the key to healing our community lies in supporting those experiencing homelessness?

On a single night in January 2025, 9,905 people were counted as homeless in San Diego County (5,714 unsheltered and 4,191 in shelters.) Many are also facing substance use and emotional challenges.

At Mission Academy, we believe in the power of holistic, faith-based recovery. Our year-long residential program helps individuals rebuild their lives with a personalized, faith-based approach. During the critical first 30 days, students receive a Passport, a checklist of benchmarks designed to give structure, set clear goals, and guide them toward healing.

The Passport helps students take their first steps by offering accountability, encouragement, and direction. As they progress, they begin life skills classes, addiction recovery sessions, and learn tools for long-term transformation.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who supports our mission and helps our students reclaim their purpose and hope.

What Can Happen in Just One Year?

One year ago, we opened the doors of a new 30-day emergency shelter in National City. We didn’t know how many lives we could touch, but we knew God was calling us.

Today, nearly 1,000 people have found shelter, support, and hope through the South County Lighthouse. Men. Women. Moms with kids. Seniors. Veterans. People with disabilities. Families hanging on by a thread. All welcomed with dignity and care.

As our CEO Donnie Dee shared,
"We are working to get people off the streets. Anyone is welcome to stay here."

We believe in second chances. And we’re just getting started. Learn more about what we do, visit the links in our bio.

Think you're too young, don’t have enough assets, or simply too busy to write a Will?
Think again. A Will is for anyone who wants to ensure their wishes are honored and their loved ones are protected.

👉New to the idea of writing a Will? Check out our blog where we bust myths such as "I’m not rich enough," revealing that everyone has assets that need distributing.

“God helped me adapt tremendously. It’s not always easy giving up control, but I knew I needed to change. It’s been a continual learning process.”

When Dwight walked through our doors, he was exhausted, lost in addiction after a painful divorce and cut off from family. He was on the verge on losing all hope…
Until he came to the Mission Academy and was handed a simple but powerful tool: the 30-Day Passport.

More than a checklist, the Passport gives new Mission Academy students goals and structure. It offers a clear path toward healing.

They begin life skills classes, addiction recovery, job training, and more. As Dwight filled each page, he felt his heart and mind being reshaped:

Now he’s walking forward with hope. And he’s not alone anymore.

For 13 winters, Tom slept under cold stars, until one Sunday, he stepped toward a new life. A place to heal, a place called home.

When our Outreach Team met him in November 2024, he was open to prayer but hesitant to accept help.

Then one Sunday, everything changed. Tom asked about the safe emergency shelter we had mentioned. That spark of hope led to a bed, a shower, a shave, and a transformation.

Today, Tom is housed. He is reading his Bible and working with a therapist. Thanks to generous donors like you, He is rebuilding his life with strength and grace.

We celebrate the power of compassion from our community and the courage of people like Tom who choose to begin again. 🏠 #hopeliveshere
