The Housing and Neighborhood Services Department offers a wide variety of programs and services that serve to enhance the quality of life by strengthening community image, neighborhood safety and security, supporting economic development and environmental resources, promoting health and wellness, fostering human development and increasing cultural unity and community problem solving for people of all ages.
The Neighborhood Services Division oversees programs, supportive services and public resources offered within disadvantaged areas of the community and assisting low-income or homeless individuals and families so that all Oceanside residents can access resources they need to be safe, healthy and realize their full potential. Many of these services are provided by local human services nonprofits funded through the City's general fund, federal CDBG/HOME Grants Program and Measure X and offered through the City’s four Community Resource Centers (Chavez, Crown Heights, Libby Lake and John Landes).
