Since 1987, Alpha Project has been committed to providing meaningful opportunities to men and women motivated to change their lives through hard effort matched with the support of talented human service professionals. Over the past 25 years, Alpha Project has grown from a single program offering supportive employment to homeless men and women into an agency that spans all of San Diego County and reaches as far north as the Bay Area. While the agency has grown, its values have remained unchanged and with those values to guide it, today Alpha Project affects the lives of thousands of men and women each day, creating opportunities for disadvantaged individuals and families to lead lives of greater independence and self-determination.
Alpha Project’s social service programs offer support designed to address the full range of needs for men and women with substance abuse disorders, histories of incarceration and other involvement with law enforcement, mental illness, physical disability and other special needs. Participants in those programs include working age men and women from throughout San Diego County, representing the ethnic and cultural richness characteristic of the area. These key programs and other services, including transportation, end-of-life support, counseling and many others, are designed to combat the cycle of poverty and dependence on the front end, by addressing the causes and immediate consequences of that cycle for men and women left out of the mainstream.
