About us

Century Villages at Cabrillo (CVC) is a residential community established to break the cycle of homelessness. A former 26 acre US Naval housing site, CVC has become a nationwide public-private partnership model to benefit those in need. A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, CVC was established in 1997 when the US Department of Defense transferred the land to CVC under the McKinney Act for the purpose of providing transitional and permanent housing to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. Since that time, CVC has developed into a unique supportive housing community that provides housing on any given night to over 1,000 persons. These include veteran and non-veteran individuals, families, youth and children who are housed within CVC’s robust continuum of supportive housing, ranging from shelter, to transitional housing, to permanent housing. More than simply providing shelter, CVC has co-located a palette of valuable social services to help residents regain their independence. CVC’s mission is to develop, manage, and serve as steward of this 27 acre supportive housing campus so that independent service providers can successfully help individuals and families overcome homelessness. CVC embraces a vision whereby the cycle of homelessness is broken by offering residents a service-enriched, supportive environment designed to encourage self-sufficiency and promote achievement of the highest human potential. CVC seeks to provide residents a nurturing, healing environment along with the tools necessary to change behaviors and overcome barriers. Ultimately, CVC seeks to empower residents to build dreams and reintegrate into mainstream society.
