Our Story

In 1978, Casa de Amparo opened the doors of its emergency shelter to children who had been removed from their homes as a result of abuse and negelct.

Within two years, our Child Development Center was established, providing preventive services for families at risk of abuse.

In 2008, we began to pave the way to independent living for young adults emancipated from the foster care system, with our transitional housing program, continuing to pursue child abuse prevention.

Today, Casa de Amparo is an impressive force in the field of child abuse prevention and treatment, with diverse programs and strong community support.

Our goal is to help abused and at-risk children to heal, to grow beyond their difficulties, and to create futures full of hope for themselves that will ultimately affect the future of our communities. Casa Kids and their families deserve the expert, caring services Casa de Amparo provides.

Casa de Amparo is a 501c (3) nonprofit located in Oceanside, part of San Diego County, California.
