Casas de Luz/North County LGBTQ Resource Center Collaboration

Casas de Luz mission is to transform individuals, families, and communities on both sides of the San Diego/ Tijuana border and create long lasting, self-sustaining change through youth empowerment, cross cultural relationships, leadership development, home and community development, and environmental sustainability. 

Casas de Luz is currently the most cost-effective organization building homes in Tijuana. By using in-kind donations for some of our building materials as well as furnishings, they are able to keep the costs low.
