The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors approved a new emergency, 50-bed shelter for houseless individuals in Isla Vista â currently titled the El Colegio project â during their June 15 meeting.Â
The shelterâs date of operation is not confirmed, and it will potentially be named the âHedges House of Hopeâ 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.Â
This project will be handled and run by Good Samaritan Shelter â 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.Â
