What The Beacon House Association of San Pedro does

The Beacon House Association of San Pedro is a California-licensed 501(c)(3) nonprofit (Tax ID 23-7376148) operating since 1970 and incorporated in 1974 that delivers free, long-term residential substance abuse recovery treatment for adult men with alcoholism or drug addiction. The program is built on a social-model, 12-step-based curriculum spanning ASAM levels 3.1 (Clinically-Managed Low-Intensity Residential), 2.1 (Intensive Outpatient), and 1.0 (Outpatient), supplemented by Recovery Support Services and Recovery Bridge Housing; treatment is provided without fee or insurance prerequisite and is not bound by arbitrary timelines.

The organization runs an integrated San Pedro campus of 5-6 residential buildings totaling 100+ beds, a commercial kitchen and dining hall (the Bartlett Center), and a community center. Two wholly-owned social enterprises fund and extend the program: Beacon House Thrift Shop, with locations in San Pedro and Long Beach plus e-commerce, and Beacon House Culinary, which provides three meals daily to residents and high-volume catering for 8+ local shelters under Culinary Head Chef Brandon Dodge.

Revenue is diversified across treatment contracts, social enterprise retail and catering, individual and recurring donations (including the Lighthouse Keepers $25 and $150+/month tiers), grants, and signature annual fundraising events (Heart of Recovery Gala, Golf Tournament, Community Bistro dinners). Treatment is delivered exclusively through the on-campus facility with intake via phone, email, and website contact form, and the organization is CARF accredited, HIPAA/42 CFR Part 2 compliant, and recognized as California Nonprofit of the Year 2023.

Broad incumbents
