The O Lot Safe Sleeping site, located on city property at the edge of Balboa Park near the Naval Medical Center, has capacity for up to 400 tents, each allowing space for two people.
In addition to tents, the program is providing on-site amenities and services, including meals, restrooms, showers, laundry, storage trailers, case management, basic needs assistance and resource referrals, according to the city."Building on the success of our first Safe Sleeping site, 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," Gloria said.
"These sites play an important role in our effort to help people get off the streets and improve public health and safety for all San Diegans," Whitburn said. To prepare the site, city crews expanded and stabilized an access road for travel to and from O Lot. The road was widened to allow for delivery and emergency vehicles and will be used only for Safe Sleeping Program access."We are confident that this new chapter of our impact as an organization aligns with the expertise of our team and the mission and vision of the Downtown San Diego Partnership," said Betsy Brennan, president and CEO of the partnership.
