San Diego leased a former motel in Barrio Logan Wednesday to create a new shelter for families with children experiencing homelessness.
The bridge housing program is intended to provide families a stable place to stay and on-site supportive services, including meals, mail services, security, housing support and case management.
The 42-room site will serve up to 164 individuals and provide an administrative office, laundry room, break room and parking lot. The lease is for an initial seven-month term, with two one-year extension options.
“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.”
