San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria's proposal is to lease a 65,000-square foot warehouse near the San Diego airport and convert it into the city's largest ever homeless shelter. Details of the proposal haven't yet been made public.
The warehouse at Kettner and Vine proposed for a new homeless shelter is seen through a security fence, June 26, 2024.
The council has already met four times in closed session to discuss the details — specifically, the lease of a 65,000-square foot warehouse at Kettner Boulevard and Vine Street, as well as spending public money to make the property habitable. "For months, the city has negotiated aggressively on behalf of taxpayers in order to lower costs and bring about more favorable deal terms based off the feedback from the public and City Council," the statement said."The Mayor will be requesting a public hearing … of the proposed Kettner and Vine homeless shelter, and the Council President has committed to efficiently processing that request.
