Mental health is part of our overall well-being, and taking care of ourselves helps us better care for others. 💙 Each year, Father Joe’s Villages brings our team members together for our Wellness Fair — creating space to connect, recharge and prioritize wellness as a community. Our mission starts with caring for our neighbors, and that includes caring for the people who show up every day to serve them. Because when we build a culture where mental health, connection and well-being matter, we strengthen the entire community. This World Mental Health Day, we’re celebrating the importance of taking care of ourselves and each other. 🫶 #NationalMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #EmployeeWellness #CommunityCare #FatherJoesVillages

Home is more than four walls. It’s safety. It’s stability. It’s a place to belong. This World Homeless Day, our Chief Strategy Officer, Joshua Bohannan reflects on what “home” really means to someone who has experienced homelessness — and why having a place to call home can be the beginning of a new chapter. At Father Joe’s Villages, we believe everyone deserves the stability and opportunity that come with having a place to call home. 🏠❤️ #NationalHomelessDay #EndHomelessness #HousingEndsHomelessness #FatherJoesVillages #HopeStartsHere

A monumental day for San Diego. 💙🏗️ In the heart of our Village, a new chapter is beginning that will create 500+ affordable homes, including specialized housing and care for seniors across San Diego as well as additional support services. A $50 million investment from Dr. Irwin Jacobs is helping turn this vision into reality, with the leadership of Deacon Jim Vargas, President & CEO of Father Joe’s Villages, and the support of leaders across San Diego. We are grateful to Dr. Jacobs and his family for standing with us as we work toward a future where every person in our community has a safe place to call home. It was an incredible day to witness what can happen when philanthropy, government, service providers, faith communities, and neighbors come together with one shared goal: ending homelessness in San Diego. We are proud to be building a future where more of our neighbors have a safe, affordable place to call home. What an exciting time to be part of Father Joe’s Villages and our mission to end homelessness, one life at a time. 💙 #FatherJoesVillages #EndHomelessness #AffordableHousing #SanDiego #HopeBeginsHere

Today marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001 — a day that forever changed our nation and so many lives. We honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the courage of the first responders and other heroes who stepped forward to help others, and the families and loved ones who continue to carry the profound loss of that day. We remember the extraordinary bravery, compassion and unity that emerged in the face of unimaginable tragedy. Today, we honor every life lost, every family forever changed and every hero who answered the call. We will never forget. #NeverForget #September11 #25Years #WeRemember #911Anniversary 🤍

If these walls could talk, they’d tell stories of resilience, courage, and incredible transformation. For many, this entrance marks the beginning of a new chapter; a place to find shelter, healing, opportunity, and community. Every day, we witness the power of hope and the impact of coming together to support our neighbors. Welcome to a place where second chances become fresh starts.❤️ Neighbor.org #FatherJoesVillages #HopeStartsHere #EndingHomelessness #CommunityStrong #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors

For many experiencing homelessness, a pet is more than a companion — they are family, a source of comfort, protection, and unconditional love during life’s most difficult moments. We’re honored to be featured in a recent @nytimes article highlighting the importance of keeping people and their pets together as they work toward stability and housing. At Father Joe’s Villages, we understand the powerful bond between people and their animals. Through pet-friendly services and shelter options, we strive to remove barriers to care so our neighbors never have to choose between safety and the companions they love.

Statement from Father Joe's Villages on the Attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego: There are moments when grief exceeds language. Monday’s hate-fueled attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego is one of them. Three lives were taken. We grieve with the families affected by this tragedy and with the entire Muslim community of San Diego. At Father Joe's Villages, we believe every person is made in the image of God and deserves to be treated as such. An attack on a house of worship is an attack on that belief and on all of us. Grief is not enough. We must be willing to name what creates the conditions for this kind of violence and commit to changing it. Hate has no place in our community. We must work to build a healthy community that values diversity and understanding in a spirit of unity. We stand with the Muslim community of San Diego in prayers for healing. To support the victims and their families directly, visit the Official ICSD Victim & Family Support Fund at the Islamic Center of San Diego: goodbricks.org/campaign/icsd…
