Temporary Bridge Shelter
Alpha Project operates a 325-bed Temporary Bridge Shelter Program for single adults located in downtown San Diego at the corner of 16th Street and Newton Avenue. Clients are welcomed and supported at the sprung structure with emergency housing and wrap-around support services. The Program utilizes tools designed to effectively serve the target population in a welcoming and solutions-focused environment.
Homeless Outreach
At the core of all of Alpha Project’s facilities and services is a program of Community Outreach. Operating out of Alpha Project vans, the outreach teams drive to areas where homeless people congregate, including downtown, National City, the Port of SD and other areas. In an effort to develop relationships, our teams offer food, water, clothing, hygiene supplies, blankets, heat packs, transportation assistance, help obtaining identification, as well as a compassionate ear. Alpha Project is well-known and trusted within San Diego’s homeless population, and our outreach staff members have developed a solid rapport with the homeless over the years.
Rapid Rehousing
Alpha Project's Rapid Re-Housing Program provides rental assistance and security deposits as well as landlord advocacy, assistance with finding affordable housing and case management assistance to families and/or individuals who are homeless with the goal of moving them into permanent housing.
The Rapid Re-Housing Program provides both financial and case management assistance in a regular manner, consistent with their individual needs.
Transitional Employment
Take Back the Streets (aka TBS) is a program that has been in operation since 1987.
TBS is a catalyst for homeless people who are able to work, providing them with immediate transitional employment and training while providing the community with vital cost saving services.
Services provided by TBS crews include:
Fire Prevention Services
Fire Season is here, and Alpha Project can prepare your property for upcoming fire inspections and help protect your home and family from wild fires.
California state law requires 100 feet of defensible space around homes and structures to dramatically increase the chance of a home surviving a wildfire, as well as providing for firefighter safety as they defend structures.
Community Court
Community Justice Initiative, (CJI), is a restorative justice program for adults designed to help them resolve their court case without criminal conviction, while offering them the chance to give back to the community. Alpha Project offers participation in community service work as restitution or "payback" for a minor offense. Once enrolled in this program, individuals will complete 16 hours of community service and in exchange they will not have a criminal conviction on their record.
Home Finder Program
The Home Finder Program is funded by the County of San Diego Behavioral Health Services (BHS). Home Finder serves clients who are homeless and are experiencing serious mental illness and are connected to designated outpatient County of San Diego B.H.S clinics. Home Finder is responsible for the provision of housing identification, housing navigation, supportive services and trainings.
Wheels of Change
Wheels of Change empowers residents, builds self-esteem AND provides meaningful transitional employment, while giving back to the community. Wheels of Change provides transitional employment opportunities, paying $13/hr, to individuals residing at Alpha Project’s Temporary Bridge Shelter program.
Tenant Peer Support Services Program (TPSS)
The Tenant Peer Support Services Program (TPSS) is funded by the County of San Diego Behavioral Health Services (BHS). Tenant Peer Support Services serves clients who are ages 18 years or older, homeless or unstably housed and are connected to a designated county outpatient clinic.
