The Safe & Stable Housing Fund at San Diego Foundation seeks to fund organizations serving our community members at risk of becoming homeless, with the goal that they remain stable in a home of their own. This annual grant cycle is committed to the financial support of projects proposing to address urgent needs of seniors struggling to remain housed or age in place (through homelessness prevention and/or diversion efforts) and have a positive impact on the community by addressing unique housing and other related issues faced by seniors.
Focus Area
The Coastal Safe & Stable Housing Fund will accept proposals for programs ensuring the well-being of seniors living in North County San Diego. Requests can be between $10,000 and up to $40,000 for a 12-month grant cycle from date of grant award in May 2026. Programs should provide just-in-time “flex funding” to bridge a short-term gap in resources to avoid eviction or homelessness or provide funds to keep their clients out of crisis while focusing on long-term solutions (i.e., utilities, rent, medical bills, car repair, etc.). through homelessness prevention and/or diversion efforts.
