The Golden Hall Shelter is operated by Father Joe's Villages under a contract with the San Diego Housing Commission and is set to close before the year is out due to winter storm damage.
SAN DIEGO — San Diego is stopping new intakes at its homeless shelter in Golden Hall as it prepares to transition people staying there to other shelters by the end of the year.
The facility was first approved as a temporary shelter in 2019 by the San Diego City Council. The 60-year old building was recently damaged in this winter's heavy rain, and the fire marshal has sped up the facility's timeline. "Given future redevelopment plans for the Civic Core site, such an investment has been deemed unwise,'' a city statement reads.
Mayor Todd Gloria has been attempting to find a developer to take on the ambitious project -- which also includes the blighted 101 Ash Street building -- for several years.
