The best way to help people get back on their feet is by helping them find suitable jobs that will enable their return to independent living.  

Sunbreak Ranch will have a Real Time Employment Dashboard on-site to help residents locate jobs and job training opportunities around the county.  The Dashboard will have Sunbreak representatives on hand to assist residents in their searches. 

Employers throughout the county will be encouraged to offer jobs and job training opportunities for Sunbreak’s residents via our Real Time Employment Dashboard.  The vast majority of San Diegans are people of goodwill who genuinely want to help our homeless brothers and sisters.  Offering jobs (large and small) will be a great way to help.

Request to pick up signs from us.

Subject: Sunbreak Ranch is the Answer

Dear Mayor Gloria,

Sunbreak Ranch is the answer to solving the homeless humanitarian crisis that is ravaging our streets, canyons and public parks, and also making life and business difficult for all of us.

Are you speedily pursuing the implementation of Sunbreak Ranch?  If so, when will it happen?  If not, why not?  And what is your alternative plan that is better?

Best,

Jane Sample

Richard Sweeney is a retired business owner, native San Diegan and resident of La Mesa, California.  He has lived in the Severin Grossmont Hills community since 1988 with his wife, Patricia, and their two children.  With an extensive graphics background, combined with a passion for history and writing, creating La Mesa’s Severin Grossmont Hills and Vicinity book brought an appreciation for the place he calls home and neighbors he calls friends.

At present, there is not a real-time dashboard displaying the number of total beds available by bed type and location, with easily accessible contact information.  One of the first steps to meaningfully address the homelessness issue is to create a real-time dashboard. This will enable the county to serve as a clearinghouse that individual cities can contract with to connect homeless individuals with available resources.

According to the most recently reported Point-In-Time count of 2022, of the nearly 18,000 beds available in San Diego county for various shelter programs, supportive housing and permanent housing, occupancy ranged approximately from 70% – 85%.  This means that on any given night, roughly 2,700 – 5,400 beds go unoccupied.  This while our streets and canyons are teeming with tents and people suffering.

A real-time dashboard at Sunbreak Ranch would assist homeless outreach teams connect homeless individuals with the available resources in real-time.
