Storage Facility for Belongings of San Diegos Homeless Saved City Councilmembers Contribute $45,000 to Keep Check-in Center Open
SAN DIEGO, CA (January 31, 2012) San Diego City Councilmember Todd Gloria today announced a $45,000 contribution to keep the homeless storage facility open through June 30, 2012. In an effort coordinated by Councilmember Gloria, City Councilmembers allocated enough Community Projects, Programs and Services (CPPS) funds to keep what is known as the Water Man Check-in Center open through the end of the Fiscal Year. The Check-in Center keeps the possessions of our homeless neighbors safe, while helping keep San Diegos streets clean, said Councilmember Gloria, who allocated $10,000 to the cause. I am proud of my colleagues on the City Council for stepping in to help save this critical service. The storage facility, located at 917 Ninth Avenue, houses secure bins that homeless individuals use to keep their property. Since its opening early in 2011, the Check-in Center has been credited for improved conditions on San Diegos streets and applauded by homeless people and advocates for helping solve this longstanding challenge. The San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) will start accepting monetary donations from the public next week so the Check-in Centers future can be ensured beyond June. Councilmember Gloria and the SDHC will announce the donation information as soon as it is available.
