With a COVID-19 outbreak at the La Posada shelter and a staffing shortage at Haven House, Vista effectively has no homeless shelter beds available for those seeking help.

The Vista City Council is calling for an emergency meeting on homelessness Tuesday evening because the city has no shelter beds available right now.The city of Vista has an agreement with Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego and Interfaith Community Services to provide homeless shelter beds.
Vista Mayor John Franklin said this means the city can't enforce any of the ordinances against illegal campgrounds or get people into shelters."Our HOT team are out on the street right now outreaching to those who are unsheltered, and we have people who want to go to the shelter. But we don't have beds available," he said."So that is a crisis because we have people on the streets that don't wanna be.
"And we need more information. We're not getting clear and understandable information about why the beds haven't been available," Franklin said."So tonight's about getting to the bottom of that."
