Overnight Shelter

Overnight Shelter Program

OUR SHELTER

Urban Street Angels operates the only program focused on providing emergency overnight shelter services for transitional-age youth (18 – 25 years old) in the San Diego area. Every Tuesday night, we provide safe harbor for up to 30 homeless youth in the North Park area, along with an array of basic human services. These services always include a nourishing dinner and breakfast the following morning; a safe place to spend the night; and referrals to available services in the community. New and gently-used clothing and footwear are provided at the shelter, along with other services. Over the past two years, we have served over 2,000 youth in our emergency overnight shelter program.

BECOME A VOLUNTEER

Our volunteer program is specifically designed for people who are 18 or older looking to make a contribution to our program by providing support in our shelters, events, and special days. Volunteers make a big impact and this is a great way to give back to our community. With your help, we can keep growing towards greatness. Become a volunteer today!

Our Story

Urban Street Angels is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2012 to address youth homelessness in San Diego, California. At this time, we operate in three related areas.

Our overnight shelter program provides safe harbor for up to 30 homeless youth twice each week. As part of our outreach efforts, the shelter program helps us attend to the immediate needs of homeless transitional-age youth (“TAY”, 18 to 25 years old).

We also operate a 20-bed Short-term and Bridge housing program for homeless TAY seeking to leave the streets behind for good, and an innovative 15-bed supportive housing program for TAY who have yet to connect with available social services.

And finally, we provide vital job skills and soft skills training for homeless youth through our social enterprise start-up 8 West. The goal of 8 West is to develop a more employable workforce while cultivating personal responsibility along the way.

We are supported in our mission by the generosity of our grassroots donors, foundations and organizations, and a valued partnership with the County of San Diego HHSA / BHS.
