UPDATE: The city of San Diego has just activated its inclement weather shelter program for tonight, responding to urgent weather conditions that threaten vulnerable populations. The San Diego Housing Commission announced that additional shelter beds are available for those experiencing homelessness as temperatures are expected to fall below 50 degrees with a 40% chance of rain.
Shelters will open at three key locations throughout the city, providing immediate support to those in need. The facilities include:
– Living Water Church of the Nazarene, located at 1550 Market St., with a capacity of 28 adults. Check-in begins at 8 p.m. and on-site reservations are accepted from 1-4 p.m. Check-out is at 6:30 a.m..
– Joan Kroc Center, at 1501 Imperial Ave., which can accommodate 61 adults plus 11 additional beds for families with minor children or single women. Check-in starts at 4 p.m. and continues until full, with check-out at 5 a.m..
– Father Joe’s Villages Paul Mirabile Center, also on 1501 Imperial Ave., offering space for 62 adults. Similar to the Kroc Center, check-in begins at 4 p.m. and ends when full, with check-out at 5 a.m..
Individuals seeking shelter can go directly to these locations, where beds will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The program is activated whenever temperatures drop below 50 degrees with a 40% chance of rain, or when temperatures fall to 45 degrees or lower, regardless of rain.
This initiative is critical as the city prepares for potentially severe weather conditions, including strong winds or heavy rain. The shelters provide a lifeline for those without housing, ensuring they have a safe place to stay during dangerous weather.
Residents are encouraged to share this urgent information to help those in need know where to find shelter. As conditions may change rapidly, staying informed is vital for the safety and well-being of our community.
For further updates, stay tuned as this situation develops.
