After 26 years in El Cajon, Crisis House has moved back to its birthplace of Santee.
The nonprofit, which has been serving homeless individuals and victims of domestic violence for more than 50 years, opened its doors on Wednesday in a two-story building on Cuyamaca Street.
“I read in some of our history that Santee is where we were originally established so it’s kind of like coming home, and so we’re excited,” said Mary Case, CEO of the nonprofit.
The new digs are in a building shared with a tax services company, a financial group and some other businesses.
