SAN DIEGO – As part of his consistent and continued efforts to create more shelter beds to get people experiencing homelessness off the streets, Mayor Todd Gloria on Thursday, July 21, 2022 opened the City’s newest shelter. Called Rachel’s Promise, the Downtown shelter will serve up to 40 women with medical needs.
Rachel’s Promise is a collaborative effort between the City’s Homelessness Strategies and Solutions Department and the San Diego Housing Commission. It is operated under contract with the Housing Commission by the Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego. The Mayor was joined by Cardinal-designate Robert W. McElroy of the Catholic Diocese, along with City Councilmembers Stephen Whitburn and Dr. Jennifer Campbell.
