Communities in Action
Home Start's Communities in Action Program (CinA) helps San Diego families move toward safety, empowerment, and connection by providing tools and increasing options for self-determination, financial independence, and healthy choices.
This program offers a hand-up through support services designed to help move individuals and families towards self-sufficiency. Services are tailored to the client’s specific needs and each client is treated as a partner in the creation of individualized service plans.
Based inside the Jacobs Center in downtown San Diego, the Communities In Action Hub is the go-to resource center for a wide range of needs. Walk-ins are welcome and case managers are available to help visitors obtain all of the information and provisions available to them.
