The Humane Advocacy (HA) department at East Bay SPCA preserves the human-animal bond by providing financial assistance for veterinary care, pet food, and temporary shelter to underserved communities and people in crisis. By working directly with pet owners and community stakeholders, HA programs sustain the human-animal bond which is critical to the health and well-being of the entire East Bay community. East Bay SPCA's approach involves comprehensive case management to not only meet immediate needs, but also to build relationships with clients experiencing complex social challenges such as homelessness, mental health crises, domestic violence, and housing and food insecurity. Learn how this innovative program helps community members in crisis and gain ideas for developing a similar program or collaboration in your community.
