There may already be resources and options available to serve clients where they are instead of uprooting them from their known service system. To connect individuals located outside of the City of San Diego, it is recommended to engage with the homeless outreach workers or service providers operating where the client currently resides. It follows proven practices local agencies normally use to engage unsheltered homeless individuals. The effort is similar to the approach used when City bridge shelters were first opened in 2017. Partner agencies include the City’s Homeless Outreach Teams, Downtown San Diego Partnership, Regional Task Force on Homelessness, County Health and Human Services Agency, PATH, and service providers. For members of the public who do not have access to a medical provider, 2-1-1 has a nurse triage line.Ĭoordinated outreach teams are now engaging with people living outdoors to offer them shelter appropriate to their condition, whether it be at the convention center, a motel room or another option. For non-emergencies, you can call 2-1-1 or visit. If it is an emergency, please call 9-1-1 immediately. How can I get help or help someone in need?
