Shelter Projects
The Heart of What We Do
Every shelter project that HomeAid San Diego undertakes is a team effort that unites the resources of the building industry with non-profit organizations that serve the region’s homeless. HomeAid San Diego starts each new project by selecting a qualified non-profit partner. The non-profit partner must have a proven track record of services to the homeless and be in need of new or renovated shelter facility.
Next, we match the non-profit partner with a leading homebuilder (“Builder Captain”) that is seeking a tangible way to give back to the community by volunteering to spearhead a HomeAid project. The volunteer Builder Captain is the centerpiece of the HomeAid program. The Builder Captain coordinates the construction of the shelter and secures the in-kind donations of labor and materials from their trade partners necessary to complete the project.
To qualify for Home Aid’s Shelter Assistance Program, non-profit organizations must provide transitional shelter services within San Diego County and have:
- A mission to assist the temporarily homeless;
- Strong community and political support;
- A good track record of enabling clients to attain a stable lifestyle and obtain long-term independent housing;
- Operational funding in place to support client programs;
- Capital funds available or the capability to raise the necessary funding to ensure completion of the project.
For more information about participating as a Builder Captain or subcontractor in a future shelter project or applying to the Shelter Assistance Program, please contact HomeAid San Diego at (858) 793-6292.
