OUR HISTORY

Originally founded in 1927 to provide social welfare programs for "those who might otherwise be forgotten," Episcopal Community Services (ECS) expanded its scope in 1954 to provide programs to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of all San Diegans. ECS was incorporated in 1955 and obtained its first government contract with San Diego County to provide counseling and jobs for men released from prison. Today, ECS provides over $36 million in health and human services in homelessness, mental health, substance use treatment, and early childhood education, impacting more than 10,500 clients and family members in the San Diego region.
