Sometimes a Fresh Start
Needs a Set of Keys

Keys to Hope Foundation was founded after recognizing that people may make significant progress in recovery, employment, housing, treatment, and personal stability but still face a major obstacle because they cannot reliably get where they need to go.

Keys to Hope exists to help bridge that transportation gap.

Our Mission

Keys to Hope Foundation helps people get back on the road—and back on track.

We provide reliable vehicles and transportation support to San Diego residents who are rebuilding their lives after substance use disorders, homelessness, incarceration, and other major challenges. By helping people get to work, job interviews, medical appointments, recovery programs, and other essential services, we remove one of the biggest barriers to independence and long-term stability.

Our Vision

We envision a community where lack of transportation does not prevent someone from rebuilding their life.

Our Values

HOPE

We believe people’s futures are not defined by their past.

DIGNITY

Those we serve deserve respect, choice, and opportunity.

ACCOUNTABILITY

We want our resources to create meaningful and sustainable change.

COMMUNITY

Long-term solutions require individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and communityorganizations working together.

SECOND CHANCES

Past circumstances should not eliminate future opportunities.
