Give people made homeless by San Diego officials over the past 12 years the option of using an Emergency Campground at the City-owned and long vacant De Anza Cove Trailer Park. 

Reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune in late 2016/early 2017:  "City officials over the last six years have allowed 10,000 low-cost apartment units to disappear in San Diego, converted into boutique hotel rooms or demolished for new luxury apartments and condominiums. That’s bully for their owners and good for the economy, but the city violated its own ordinance that requires a one-for-one replacement." https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/columnists/dan-mcswain/sd-fi-mcswain-data-on-homeless-shows-crisis-worsening-20170423-story.html?fbclid=IwAR0CgGGk7xbbPYO0ExsyullKPhjs-CAhs9a1ogvij3T54M6zBvvtJfgPoZg

The future of the City-owned DeAnza Cove Trailer Harbor is still to be determined; in the meantime, it can be productively used for a network of Tent and Vehicle camps with porta-potties, mobile showers, and camp kitchens. as well as caseworkers to support people getting the services and help they need to get into longterm housing. The nearby Clairemont Drive Trolley Station makes using public transit easy, so give Emergency Campground residents free Trolley/Bus passes to help them get to job interviews/jobs, medical appointments, and other places they need to visit in order to make progress out of homelessness.

We have a blueprint from Sacramento, where they have been doing this for two years: https://www.capradio.org/articles/2022/02/08/sacramento-took-nearly-a-year-to-create-a-new-safe-ground-homeless-shelter-we-look-at-why-it-takes-so-long/

We have a huge military presence here, which can help to mobilize this, as they do in responding to other disasters leaving 1000s of people homeless.

We have the Red Cross and International Relief Team among others here, experienced in the same.

UCSD with the new "Homelessness Hub" resource center  is just up the Trolley line, with USD not far. There are lots of students on both campuses  who could be provided with great learning opportunities relative to majors like Social Work, Nursing, Public Health, Psychology...

Mayor Gloria, YOU can do this more quickly, cost-effectively and SAFELY than large, institutional Shelters by leveraging programs already tried and proven to work:

Work with nonprofits like Dreams for Change to sanction and provide support for people to sleep in tents/their vehicles, use portable hygiene facilities and a camp kitchen, and work with case managers to get the help they need to get into safe, permanent housing. http://www.dreamsforchange.org/the-safe-parking-program/

Mayor Gloria, YOU have the power to make this common sense HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY RESPONSE happen, while permanent housing is found and developed.  You will have the support of MANY San Diegans in so doing!  Please ACT DECISIVELY and AUTHORITATIVELY. Thousands of people's lives depend on you so doing.
