About CIS

The Salvation Army has been serving Southern California for more than 130 years, including institutional work addressing homelessness. Community Integration Services (CIS) is a program focused on housing stability and community integration in Southern California. Our work is designed to prevent homelessness in at-risk households, help people acquire and retain permanent housing, and provide career development, job placement, and supportive services to underserved populations characterized by unemployment and underemployment, including military veterans. Our goal is to maximize each individual’s potential for self-sufficiency while treating them with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. CIS operates independently of any single residential facility.
