Rita Locaria

For over 30 years, Rita Locaria has played an integral part in the C.U.R.A. Family. In 1996, she got the Oakland House and its renovation completely donated. This facility now serves as C.U.R.A.’s Recovery Residence. Rita moved into the field of Drug Treatment after serving as one of the founding members of the Tri-City Homeless Coalition. With a Bachelor’s in Humanities and a Master’s in Humanities and Leadership from San Francisco’s New College of California, she holds firmly to the belief that self-actualization is at the core of the individual’s recovery. Rita’s goal and vision is to open a Sober Living Residence in South County to further support C.U.R.A.’s graduates on their path to recovery. “Instead of cursing the dark, light a candle.”
