Overnight shelter run by San Diego Rescue Mission, partner of Bread of Life.
Well intentioned efforts to help the homeless can get ugly. The city of Oceanside’s high profile moves to help the needy led to public confrontations and a grant revocation. One grandstanding councilmember induced giggles when he falsely painted the picture that a city partner was a grant-dependent deadbeat.
Oceanside is taking major steps to provide relief for the homeless. On June 16, the city made a commitment to provide permanent homes for veterans, newly-independent foster kids, the elderly and “extremely low income persons” by approving a four-story, 60-unit complex called Greenbrier Village Apartments to be located just behind the Oceanside Boulevard Taco Bell.
