Introduced by: Past President Melanie Vieux
Emily Ballus, Stockton Shelter for the Homeless, Board of Directors and Treasurer told us about the current shelter and stats. They are currently hosting 357 people nightly. They are a temporary shelter. They think there are approximately 941 sheltered homeless in Stockton and the Shelter provides 37% of the shelter for those without a habitat. There are unsheltered homeless at about 1355 individuals in Stockton. They are building a “Navigation Center” scheduled to be completed in June 2023 and how it is getting done so quickly is that they are building this with 22 shipping containers. It will be 2 stories and have 180 beds and will house another 13% of unsheltered homeless and this is a community-wide coordinated event. They will have a storage facility for the guests to store their belongings and they can bring their pets.
