About Us
The Trinity House
welcomed its first occupants in 2005 as a “Good
Samaritan” leap of faith. Since that time The Trinity House has
helped numerous families and individuals avoid homelessness.
Founded by Glen and Evelyn Jackson,
The Jackson's and The Board of Directors philosophy is to
give a "hand up" not a "hand out" demonstrating that believe through the
work of The Trinity House.
As of June 1,
2007 The Trinity House has served
129 adults and 81 children, many of whom
are very low-income and eligible to receive a rent
subsidy from The Trinity House
to assist them in avoiding homelessness.
Of those 30% (nearly 40 families) were able to avert homelessness all
together by coming to The Trinity House.
Our Mission is to
provide transitional housing in
San Diego County to underserved individuals and families in need, and to
coordinate successful re-integration of residents into the community by
promoting positive transformation of their lives.
Our Vision
is to
function as a catalyst for societal and individual awareness that will spur
others into action in working together toward bringing an end to
homelessness.
