San Diego city leaders said Tuesday that more than 1,100 people will secure permanent or longer-term housing by the end of the year through Operation Shelter to Home — the city’s COVID-19 homeless shelter at the San Diego Convention Center.

A group of local leaders dedicated to homeless services, particularly in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, urged the San Diego County Board of Supervisors on Monday to allocate $5.4 million of next year’s budget to a project that would convert motels into permanent housing for unsheltered individuals.
