Under the recent agreement, TURN will operate a 56-bed non-congregate shelter known as the Adult Substance Use Outpatient Program for Alcohol Use. Beds that previously were used for transitional housing will now operate as an interim shelter program, SDHC stated. The cost for the program, which will start operations on Jan. 1 and run until June 30, 2025, is expected to be more than $350,000. The final organization to get shelter beds as a result of SDHC's authorizations is the San Diego Rescue Mission, which agreed to operate 37 beds at the South County Lighthouse Interim Shelter in National City. The beds will specifically be for individuals who identify as male or non-binary/gender. The operating cost for this program is about $545,000 and will be effective from Dec. 1 to June 30.

Other projects included in the city's homelessness response system are the conversion of a hotel in Mission Valley into affordable housing, as well as Safe Sleeping spaces and the expansion of the city's Safe Parking program. According to SDHC, the shelter beds support the short-term action plan devised by the city's Homelessness Strategies and Solutions Department. It is meant to buffer the anticipated loss of shelter beds at existing homelessness programs by the end of the year. Friday's actions will be finalized in a week unless two members of the San Diego City Council request a review of the authorizations.
