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.
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.
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.
Take Back the Streets (aka TBS) is a program that has been in operation since 1987.

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.
