The 65-prefab unit site opened this week with at least three case managers, security and three meals per day.
Chula Vista’s new bridge shelter opened this week, providing housing and food to homeless people in San Diego County’s second-largest city.
The man is one of an unknown number of residents staying at the 65-unit bridge shelter. City staff refused to say how many people were being housed at the site.“This is an important project and we want to make sure that we get it right,” he said. “We’ll probably have clients that say, ‘Yeah, we want to come,’ and we’ll go take a look and they may leave,” HOT coordinator Hugo Cardenas said last week. “It may not happen the first contact, maybe 20 contacts and maybe seven years later. It’s just going to be based on an individual and their needs. We can’t force them into it.”
“That’s what we want to see, more people in housing,” said Felix Magsino, a nearby resident who drove by the shelter Monday. “I see a lot of veteran homeless people and I think it’s good that the government is finally doing this.”The Village is the only government-run bridge shelter in South County, which has an estimated 380 homeless persons or about 9 percent of the county’s total homeless population, according to the 2022 point-in-time count. Of that figure, 206 lived in Chula Vista.
