Celeste Young, former Program Manager for County of San Diego drug prevention provider, Mental Health Systems, noticed that teens in San Diego were repeatedly describing real estate open houses as the best places to find and steal prescription medicines in order to get high. She shared her discovery with Angie Stanley of Oakwood Escrow and Sherrie Rubin from the Hope2gether Foundation, and together, funded the production of 200 bags that had instructions to safely store prescription medications that were given to real estate clients.

Greg Stein, Vice President of Strategic & Community Affairs at Millennium Health, found out about the program, and together with Young, pitched the San Diego Association of REALTORS® on the idea of a county-wide program to inform their 12,000 members about the need to safely secure medications during open houses. The Safe Homes Coalition expanded to include endorsements and the support of Bill Gore, San Diego County Sheriff; Bonnie Dumanis, San Diego County District Attorney; and the San Diego Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force.
