SAN DIEGO—The city opened its newest shelter July 21 for homeless women—a 40-bed facility in the East Village offering a safe recovery place for women with serious medical conditions.
Mayor Todd Gloria helped open the shelter, Rachel’s Promise, a collaboration between the city’s Homelessness Strategies and Solutions Department and the San Diego Housing Commission. It will be operated under contract with the commission by the Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego and will offer housing navigation assistance, meals, laundry facilities, showers, mail and telephone services, and clothing.
