About Noah Homes

With dreams, hope and dedication, Noah Homes opened in 1983 and over the next 20 years grew to become a dynamic community on 11 acres in the rural outskirts of San Diego.

Today, there are 65 men and women whom we like to call “the folks,” celebrating life everyday on these beautiful grounds. There are eight homes all named to reflect the strong Hispanic culture of San Diego such as Casa de Flores and Casa de Felicidad. Six are located on the main campus and two more are in the surrounding neighborhood. Noah Homes is an oasis of peace as well as a hub of activity and everyday is full of life and new experiences.

The men and women who live at Noah Homes leave their homes each weekday morning to work in the community at a variety of jobs and activities. Some are earning salaries for positions with restaurants, bookstores, department stores, and other places of employment. Some are in work enclaves with the support of job coaches in garden and janitorial services, and others do contract work for local industry. Work and a paycheck are important aspects of daily life.

Weekends are opportunities to participate in all that San Diego and the outlying areas have to offer. There are many choices each week for recreation, enrichment spectator sports, Special Olympics, and worship. Some of the favorites are Ice Skating, Padre games, and bowling.

There is daily ongoing support and instruction at Noah Homes in the areas of personal care, independent living skills, problem solving, and leisure activities. Each of the folks is encouraged to grow as an individual as well as a respected member of the Noah Homes community.
