The San Diego City Council voted 8-0 Nov. 3 to place the city’s adult winter emergency homeless shelter at a building on 1625 Newton Ave. in the East Village area. The vote reverses an Oct. 22 vote to house the shelter at Golden Hall near the city concourse. Those against that site argued the city would lose about $390,000 in revenue and the city would be in breech of contract based on previously-signed agreements for the space at Golden Hall. The clincher was a statement by the San Diego Police Department that the department would provide a 24-hour mobile unit beside the Newton Avenue site during the time the shelter is open this winter. The Alpha Project will operate shelter and its director said he hopes to open it on Thanksgiving Day. The shelter will be open until mid-March.
