Mayor Todd Gloria says shelter beds are always available, CBS 8 has found that is not always the case.
SAN DIEGO — San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria stands by comments he made previously that shelter beds for unhoused individuals are always available in the city.
However, Mayor Gloria told reporters it is never the case that across the system, which includes the 20th and B Street safe sleeping site, safe parking, and congregate and non-congregate shelters, that all beds are taken. "We encourage people to utilize those processes to get into the system and get housed. It’s often not as fast as we want, there are a lot of challenges on all sides where this is concerned. The truth is we continue to readily expand the amount of shelter beds we have in our city and my expectation is they get used," said Mayor Gloria.
