Description
The San Diego Unified School District and the City of San Diego are working together to help families experiencing homelessness. They're looking to use a district parking lot in City Heights as a safe parking site for families to sleep in their vehicles.
Students and staff moved from the old Central Elementary School to a new joint campus last year which left the site on Polk Avenue empty. Now the district is hoping to use the lot to help families experiencing homelessness.
"We have approximately 8,000 students in our district that are experiencing homelessness and of course that looks different for each student and family," said Richard Barrera, with the San Diego Unified School Board.
