Home of Guiding Hands is a 501(c)(3) that was established in 1961 by a small group of concerned community members. The Mission of HGH is "to improve the lives of those we serve". We serve children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities such as Down syndrome, epilepsy, autism, and cerebral palsy. Each year, we provide support services to 3,800 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities within San Diego and Imperial Counties. With over 800 employees, we provide a full continuum of care including premium residential care in 31 specialized group homes, early childhood development, independent living support and on-site activity services at our resource center, located in El Cajon. Additionally, we provide life skills training, vocational assistance, free counseling, respite care, and county-wide transportation services.
