SAN DIEGO — The City of San Diego will open its second safe sleeping site on Saturday since passing the unsafe camping ordinance over the summer.
Santos is the program manager of Dreams for Change, the organization that serves as boots on the ground at the safe sleeping sites."It's a lot more spacious — so it's 8x8. You can actually push all the furniture to one side of the room and kinda utilize this as a common area," said Santos. "The O Lot is an opportunity for many more people who’ve become homeless to work on getting back on their feet in a safe, sanitary environment,” said Mayor Todd Gloria. “I’m grateful to City staff for working around the clock to get the site ready to welcome people in off the streets and get them on a path to permanent housing.”She said one success story is a couple who has been homeless on and off for 20 years.
The city opened its first safe sleeping site in June, in a parking lot at 20th and B streets in Golden Hill. As of Oct. 20, the site is serving 148 people in 122 tents.
