San Diegans Together Tackling Homelessness is a transformative initiative in San Diego that unites the capabilities of the public, nonprofit, private, faith-based, and philanthropic sectors to devise a scalable and comprehensive plan to combat homelessness.
This is not a committee, but a commitment.
Homelessness is a
"State of Emergency"
3285 Unsheltered + 3215 Sheltered = 6500 Total Homeless Individuals
14,258 fell into homelessness the past year; 8,843 exit
For every 10 individuals that exit homelessness; 16 enter
The transition into homelessness and the journey experienced remain consistent for most people. Many will encounter programs and outreach teams that work to provide the resources necessary to obtain some form of housing. These services exist to fulfill four distinct purposes: to prevent, shelter, exit, and house the unhoused residents.
The government does not have the resources to solve the homelessness crisis alone. It is a humanitarian crisis and a burden every San Diegan must share. It will take all of us doing something collectively to make a meaningful difference.
Every business, nonprofit, faith-based organization and individual can contribute in some form or fashion to our ultimate goal.
Donations can be made to the San Diego Foundation for the San Diegans Together Tackling Homelessness initiative.
