Up to 150 San Diegans experiencing homelessness will be able to move into the Rosecrans Shelter when it officially opens Monday, following a tour by city and county leaders of the facility Friday.
The Lucky Duck Foundation — which donated the use of the shelter structure and covered construction costs — took San Diego County Supervisor Chair Nathan Fletcher, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and other officials through the new shelter offering on-site behavioral health services.
The Rosecrans Shelter will offer on-site behavioral health services as well as 24-hour intakes, seven days a week. During their stay, residents will be offered services such as meals, showers, restrooms, laundry, storage for their belongings, mental health and addiction treatment assessments, communicable disease screenings, case management, housing navigation, and connections to self-sufficiency benefits like CalWORKS, CalFresh and Medi-Cal, a statement from the Lucky Duck Foundation reads.
"Our region urgently needs more readily available beds to provide immediate pathways off the streets for those suffering from homelessness," said Drew Moser, executive director of the Lucky Duck Foundation."Bridge shelters accomplish exactly that. We are pleased to partner with the city and county of San Diego to make this possible, and importantly, we are poised and committed to doing more.
