Our Winter 2025 Application is now closed. Our next application cycle will open Fall 2025.
Though many of our classes are transitioning to in-person, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some classes may be taught remotely in order to prioritize the health of our Student Educators and the facilities we serve.
Homeless HEAL provides the homeless community the knowledge to better manage their health and improve their health outcomes
Homeless HEAL was found in 2016 and has been consistently serving 6 homeless shelters since its founding.
The mission of Homeless HEAL is to empower the homeless community with the knowledge to make better health decisions and improve their health outcomes.
Learn more about who we are.
San Diego’s homeless and underserved communities have been ridden with preventable diseases, ultimately leading to the increase of disparities among these populations.
Strategy
Our strategy is to induct undergraduate and graduate students to become Student Educators who believe in the power that knowledge has in promoting self-awareness and improving health-based decision-making. We educate our clients on the consequences that their actions have on their bodies, from a scientific point of view and in a culturally-competent manner.
Vision
Our vision is to reduce the burden of inadequate access to primary care, and decrease excessive hospitalization costs by reducing avoidable visits to the ED.
