Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

SBCS transforms communities to support the well-being and prosperity of children, youth and families.

  • Youth Prevention and Intervention:The Youth Prevention and Intervention department provides holistic services that engage both youth and their families. Through programs including the Community Assessment Team (CAT), Juvenile Diversion (JD), Alternatives to Detention (ATD) and the Youth Development Academy (YDA), SBCS reaches youth at critical intervention points and works with them to break free from cycles of crime and incarceration.

    Expenses $15,282,102 · Grants $852,890

  • Behavioral Health and Wellness:Behavioral Health and Wellness programs provide a continuum of services from early childhood development to transition-age youth support. This includes prevention, early intervention and treatment for our youngest populations, as well as education, and mental health counseling for school-age youth; Mi Escuelita Therapeutic Preschool for young children who have been exposed to domestic violence or abuse; and housing and independent living skills for youth transitioning to adulthood, including Our Safe Place LGBTQ+ youth community drop-in and support center. Through these services and supports, youth are assisted to reach their full potential.

    Expenses $12,395,117

  • Youth and Community Wellness:SBCS provides a full spectrum of services designed to offer youth and their families with the resources and skills they need to reach their full potential. Through wrap-around supports, youth are assisted in their transition to adulthood, enabling them to give their best not only to themselves, but also to their community. Programs include youth prevention and intervention diverting youth who are at-risk of involvement in the juvenile justice system or have committed low-risk offenses; Chula Vista and San Diego Promise Neighborhoods providing resources needed for children to excel in school, advance to post-secondary education, earn a living wage and lead healthy lives; foster and transitional youth support; and career and technical education for youth involved in the foster or juvenile justice systems or experiencing housing insecurity.Created by compassionate community members in 1971, SBCS has also grown to respond to overall community needs. Our Community Wellness programs are rooted in the neighborhoods we serve and work to cultivate leadership within them. Programs include promotora liaisons between families and support; Resident Leadership Academy advocacy and civic engagement training; and National City Family Resource Center providing wraparound services to families of school-aged children in partnership with local school districts.

    Expenses $8,786,120 · Revenue $1,248,871

  • Family Wellness and Self-Sufficiency:SBCS is dedicated to helping families survive and overcome difficult situations. From emergency food and shelter to counseling and support services, we assist families to achieve economic independence and live free from violence and abuse. Programs include family violence support services; shelter, transitional housing andhousing assistance; food assistance; and tax preparation services.

    Expenses $7,452,494

  • Child Well Being:Childhood is the foundation upon which life is built. SBCS believes the healthier the foundation, the greater the possibility for success and happiness in adulthood. We are dedicated to ensuring that San Diego children are provided the services they need to have the best chance at leading a happy, healthy life. Programs includeparenting classes; in-home parenting support; and child abuse prevention and intervention via visitation, support and classes.

    Expenses $3,143,743

  • Collaboratives:Through collaborative partnerships, the Organization has been able to leverage linkages and other collaborative resources and services to provide a comprehensive system of youth and family treatment services, while at the same time avoiding duplication of services.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
