The Santa Barbara Rescue Mission is a nonprofit organization based in Santa Barbara, California, serving the county and city for more than six decades with emergency shelter and long-term recovery for people experiencing homelessness and addiction. It operates the only emergency shelter in the region open every night of the year along the Santa Maria to Ventura corridor; in 2024 it provided meals and safe nights of shelter to many individuals with nowhere else to turn. The organization directs about 85% of its resources to recovery programs, delivering both outpatient and 12-month residential treatment at two gender-specific locations housing 45 men and 24 women, with the residential program certified by the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs. Since 1997, more than 1,000 graduates have completed the program, and about 65% maintain recovery for five years, compared with national figures around 21%. In 2026 the Mission announced investments to remodel storage space into an eight-bed dormitory to support stabilization and trauma-informed care for women awaiting addiction treatment, illustrating ongoing capacity building.
