The Santa Barbara Rescue Mission has served the county and city of Santa Barbara for over 50 years, providing emergency services and long-term recovery for the homeless and addicted. With 80 beds for men and 39 for women, we are the only emergency shelter open 365 nights of the year from Santa Maria to Ventura. We provide over 140,000 meals and 50,000 safe nights of shelter for individuals with no place else to turn in a typical year. Because substance abuse has a sizable impact on our community and is often a contributing factor to homelessness, we focus 85% of our resources on recovery efforts employing residential modalities. The Mission’s 12-month residential recovery program aims to recover individuals from decades of addiction.
