Homeless Support Services
The homeless issue in San Diego remains a significant and intricate challenge impacting the city. With a homeless population estimated in the thousands, the difficulties encompass affordable housing shortages, economic disparities, and limited access to mental health services. Despite ongoing efforts by local government and non-profit organizations to provide shelters and support, many individuals continue to grapple with basic necessities and encounter obstacles to achieving long-term stability. At PB Presbyterian, we actively host and offer various programs to aid the homeless community. Further details about these initiatives are provided below, or feel free to visit our office for additional information.
