The Lucky Duck Foundation will expand its Seniors Safe at Home program through a $100,000 grant from the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, matched dollar-for-dollar by Lucky Duck Foundation executive committee member Tom Mulvaney and his wife Karen, according to an announcement this month.
The non-profit organization Serving Seniors administers Seniors Safe at Home, which provides shallow rent subsidies, case management and job search help to seniors facing homelessness.
Drew Moser, chief executive officer of the Lucky Duck Foundation, said the Seniors Safe at Home program is both humane and cost-effective.
“This additional support from the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation strengthens our ability toprotect San Diego’s most vulnerable seniors,” Moser said.
Lucky Duck Foundation CEO Drew Moser (Courtesy of the Lucky Duck Foundation)Seniors Safe at Home began in 2023 with a $500,000 donation from the Lucky Duck Foundation — an amount it will double down on by providing $500,000 for the program’s long-term health on top of the $200,000 infusion.
According to the January 2025 Point-in-Time count, more than 1,400 people 55 or older are unsheltered in San Diego County, and half of them are experiencing homelessness for the first time.
While overall homelessness dropped 7% year-over-year in January 2025, first-time homeless seniors rose 5%.
Serving Seniors coordinates with the San Diego Housing Commission to distribute the program’s rental assistance.
President and CEO of SDHC Lisa Jones said the groups’ efforts demonstrate the value of collaboration between community organizations and government.
“Homelessness prevention efforts like Seniors Safe at Home are cost-effective solutionsthat enable households to avoid the trauma of losing a home,” Jones said.
