San Diego County, CA approves the development of a homeless shelter matching app

San Diego County, CA Homeless Shelter Matching App

In Progress

County supervisors allocated $300,000 for the app's development by Caravan Studios. The app populates the current availability and resources for every shelter in San Diego County. Social workers, police officers, and service providers match unhoused residents with temporary accommodations fitting their needs through the app. This first-in-the-country project is modeled after the Safe Shelter Collaborative, a platform matching victims of domestic violence with safe locations in minutes.
