Description
A proposed mobile platform could place homeless people in a shelter with a click of an app.
On Tuesday, San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan proposed a unique homeless outreach plan to the County Board of Supervisors.
Stephan wants to use tech to help people experiencing homelessness find shelter beds more easily and efficiently.
The San Diego Regional Task Force on Homelessness says in 2022, the most recent Point-In-Time count, there were 4,106 people who are unsheltered in all corners of the county.
“To me, this is both a humanitarian and a public safety crisis. And with that, what we need are new solutions,” said Stephan.
Stephan says one of those solutions to help people experiencing homelessness strive, is creating a first-of-its-kind countywide shelter bed mobile network app for those who come in contact with the unsheltered.
