Board of Supervisors Approves New Emergency Shelter For Houseless Residents in I.V.

July 22, 2021 at 4:36 pm by Asumi Shuda
The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors approved a new emergency, 50-bed shelter for houseless individuals in Isla Vista — currently titled the El Colegio project — during their June 15 meeting. 
The shelter’s date of operation is not confirmed, and it will potentially be named the “Hedges House of Hope” in honor of Father Jon-Stephen Hedges, a community organizer, spiritual leader and social justice advocate known for his work with the houseless community in Isla Vista. 
This project will be handled and run by Good Samaritan Shelter — an agency that works to provide temporary, emergency and/or transitional housing and support services for houseless residents. Houseless residents will be directly referred to the shelter through a coordinated entry system operated by service providers from Good Samaritan, and the shelter will not take any drop-in or walk-up services.
