History
Originally founded in 1927 to provide social welfare programs for the poor, elderly, sick, and "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 more than $29 million in health and human services in the areas of homelessness, mental health, substance use disorder treatment and early childhood education to nearly 7,000 clients in San Diego.
