San Diego’s Migrant Welcome Center is set to close Thursday, but what will happen to the people it serves? Leaders in communities that received many of those migrants before are trying to find out.
It’s been just under a week since SBCS, the organization running the Migrant Welcome Center, said it was closing down on Feb. 22.
“It gave me a little bit of heartburn,” said the city of Oceanside’s Salvador Roman. “It took a toll on all the resources and providers that were out there.”“Sometimes we’d get 50 , sometimes we get close to 200, but it would average around 100 a day,” Roman said. “Last fall was nonstop, every day. Monday through Sunday, no breaks, no time off.”
The North County LGBTQ Resource Center was one of the nonprofits that provided resources for migrants at the Oceanside Transit Center last fall.
