in the lives of people experiencing homelessness in San Diego
There are 8,102 people in San Diego who are homeless.
78% of them say they became homeless right here in our county. We have the fourth-largest homeless population in the country. Homelessness can be caused by many factors, including:
- A rise in unemployment and trouble earning living wages.
- The ongoing struggle to find affordable housing as prices soar.
- People with mental illness being left to fend for themselves.
- Domestic abuse is cited as the main reason women & children become homeless.
Thankfully, even when things are at their worst, our hurting neighbors can always turn to the San Diego Rescue Mission. The kindness of people like you keeps our doors open, ready to welcome people in with nutritious meals, safe shelter, job training, faith-based counseling and other guidance to help restore lives.
