Description
With temperatures on the rise, CBS 8 spoke to one nonprofit in the South Bay focused on cooling down the unsheltered population.
Community Through Hope (CTH) is a zero barrier drop-in center focused on providing wrap-around services to people who need them.
“Oh man, these people are beautiful, they make our lives much better. They treat us with a lot of respect and we all love coming here,” said Mike Perri, a client of CTH. “They provide services that are awesome, food every day, clothes when you need them, anything you ask for, help you get services.”
On Monday, CTH started Project Cool Zone in the parking lot next to their office at 465 C St in Chula Vista, where people can sit in the shade under tents with industrial-size fans to cool them down.
