Transitional
Storage Center
Downtown Fellowship supports keeping it open
Funds are needed to keep the Transitional
Storage Center for the homeless open. The Downtown Fellowship is
partnering with Harbor Presbyterian Church and the Girls Think Tank to raise $15,000.
This money will primarily be used to lease the property which allows the TSC to
remain open.
Transitional Storage Center offers safe, secure and accessible storage for the
personal belongings of our homeless population. The Center makes it easier
for its clients to use public transportation, seek employment, work, attend
classes, meet with health & service providers and transition back to
housing. It also frees the City of San Diego from almost 30,000 lbs of
items that would otherwise be cluttering the streets and sidewalks of our
community.
The immediate need is for $45,000
to cover costs from now through June. The City of San Diego has raised $15,000
and Girls Think Tank has raised $15,000. This leaves a balance of $15,000.
Interim Mayor, Todd Gloria brought this need to the attention of Downtown
Fellowship when he addressed us at our January 9 meeting. Since that meeting
Harbor Presbyterian Church, led by Pastor Steven Cooper, has galvanized their
community behind this project, along with collaborating with the Downtown
Fellowship on a joint faith community effort. Longer term funding for the TSC
will be provided by the City from July 2014.
