"As long as there are people living unsheltered in the city of San Diego, we will not stop working to get them off the streets and on a path to housing," Mayor Todd Gloria said."This new shelter will give 42 struggling families a private space of their own to live while we work to connect them to a permanent home."
According to a city statement, non-congregate shelters allow for individualized service and increased engagement on participants' part to help resolve their homelessness. "The city is working with partners across the region to find solutions that align with national best practices," said Hafsa Kaka, the city'sdirector."We know that families experiencing homelessness engage more and feel safer in non-congregate shelters."
The department will use about $350,000 awarded to the city as part of the county's $10 million Capital Emergency Housing Solutions Grant Program. Officials are"currently working to begin capital improvements and identify a service provider to operate the shelter to serve residents in need as quickly as possible," a city statement read.
