After a months-long process, a former skydiving center in downtown San Diego will be developed into affordable housing for those experiencing homelessness.
The building on Imperial Avenue will be run by Father Joe’s Villages, and the units would be right next to Father Joe’s East Village Campus.
Right now, the building is a homeless response center owned by the city of San Diego, but Father Joe’s Villages plans to transform it into a 15-story affordable housing building with 176 units.“We have people in our shelter system who are ready for that next step. They have two jobs, where they just completed their bachelor’s degree, and in San Diego, there there is no affordable place to live,” Bohannan said.
“Access to all the, you know, group classes that we have and just really bridging people to the larger ecosystem of what we have in San Diego and making sure that they have support and services to really help them retain their housing and progress in their life,” Bohannan said.Bohannan said Father Joe’s Villages goal is to have a total of 2,000 affordable housing units across all its sites by 2025. They currently have just under 1,000.
