Meet Your Unhoused Neighbor |
Rising housing costs, low vacancy rates, and the drop in construction of new housing of all types and at all affordability levels have significantly affected San Diego County’s housing landscape. We hope our community will help us identify available housing opportunities. Contact us about our different housing programs and how to best support our unhoused neighbors.

In last month’s newsletter, we shared our excitement with the introduction of members of the Special Gifts Committee and the progress they are making to engage current CRC annual fund supporters and other community members in our efforts to secure gifts of $100,000 to
$1 million, to raise $2.6 million in gifts and pledges toward our overall $10.5 million campaign goal. In the recent weeks, two new donors have made campaign gifts. We’re most grateful to them as well as the nine other donors they join in giving within this range.
One donor in particular stands out ...

Cynthia Kellogg (left) recently made a gift in honor of her spouse, Donna Marie Robinson, who passed away in 2021 |
|
“Donna Marie and I shared a strong belief in CRC and its mission. Donna Marie proudly and energetically served on CRC’s board until she “termed out”.
We enjoyed hands on volunteering at Holiday Baskets, doing tax returns for clients and various other projects. The spring Tea and the annual gala were always on our calendar.
It is my privilege to support CRC’s capital campaign and to honor Donna Marie’s community service with a gift pledge of $100,000.”
|
|
Cynthia’s commitment to ensure CRC’s continuing ability to support and grow the organization’s financial capacity is all-encompassing through her and Donna Marie’s generous contributions of time, talent, and treasure.
This gift in memory of Donna Marie will be recognized in the new building, attached to an Individual and Family Therapy Room in the Family and Children’s Counseling Center.
