San Diego’s first new Safe Sleeping program site in the Golden Hill neighborhood will open on June 28, offering legal camping for those experiencing homelessness, Mayor Todd Gloria announced.
The city’s Central Operations Yard has the capacity to hold 136 tents, each in a space measuring 13 feet by 13 feet. The number of people at the site may be larger than 136, as each tent can accommodate two people and clients may have a partner or caretaker, officials said.
