Lucky Duck Foundation calls for 500-bed homeless shelter in Balboa Park
The growing homeless population in downtown San Diego, and a recent spate of violent incidents among those experiencing homelessness, have pushed a prominent local group of philanthropists to set their sights on a few big goals for 2023.
Other fights and attacks, using everything from a skateboard to a knife, have recently been documented among downtown San Diego’s burgeoning homeless population, which is approachingLucky Duck, the organization with the charming name and shamrock logo, has raised and spent millions fighting homelessness in and around San Diego and clearly wanted to reach out to the public on the same day that Mayor Todd Gloria was set to give his State of the City address, pushing for more direct action.
Shea said Lucky Duck would like to work with the city and other partners to put up two tent shelters in part of the eight-acre Balboa Park lot at I-5 and Park Boulevard that serves an area called Inspiration Point. The idea is to temporarily house about 500 people experiencing homelessness, focusing on seniors and young adults under the logic that they are some of the most at risk.
Were the city to go along with the idea, it would be the first shelter set up inside the borders of Balboa Park, though on the beloved location’s southwestern edge. Lucky Duck has had success in advocating for shelter housing in the past. In 2017, the organization successfully pushed the city to open its first large tented shelter.But the idea of a shelter serving seniors is not a new one.
