Great people with a great facility, doing a yeoman's work. They accept donations, and provide tax receipt paperwork. Overall the best people in all of east county, with hearts of gold. Couldn't recommend them more!

Great facility. Saved my son. What more could I ask for. Need more facilities like this to help those suffering from addiction, domestic violence etc. Support them.

So I stayed in the shelter program for 28 days. Throughout my time here I was able to find God and get my life on track and start looking for other programs to help me find housing for me and my family. The staff here are friendly and very straight forward with you. It's very hard to get kicked out of the program. Literally just follow the rules and you will succeed. My 2 year old had a blast staying here they had a park and a pool which we utilized almost every day. The meals they served wasn't bad but you had to option to buy take out if you didn't like what was prepared. Thank you El cajon transitional center! Thank you Lynn.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Call to ask.

do accept books like Mother Earth magazines and Christian women books plus men's shoes and clothes

Shelley Thompson | Aug 20, 2021
Helen Zamora | Aug 20, 2021

We always need men's shoes and clothing. We really don't have a need for the magazines but the books can be useful. There is not a great deal of space for folks so we limit the items they can bring in. We do appreciate your efforts. Blessings, Helen

Do they offer counseling other than church? Do they diagnos and treat mental health issues?

jennifer marsh | Aug 20, 2020
BJ Coleman | Aug 20, 2020

I don't have an accurate, precise answer to give you about this matter. The emphasis at ECTLC is on safe housing while moving residents toward self-sufficiency and independence beyond the center. I do not believe clinical mental diagnoses are offered on site from in-house counselors.

I'm looking to relocate and I do not have any resources. If I get to your shelter will I be able to get a bed?

Robert Foster | Aug 20, 2020
BJ Coleman | Aug 20, 2020

You will have to phone or visit ECTLC to find out room space availability. I suggest visiting in person if you are already in East County.

Depends if you are single or family. If family, depends on family size. It's best to call them and ask about your specific circumstance. This isn't a one size fits all place.
