In the latest month of the San Diego Convention Center’s unexpected role as a homeless shelter, the city paid $1.6 million in rent to its own nonprofit that runs the bayfront facility and $727,000 in operations and maintenance costs.
Other expenses for November included $1.5 million to the charities running the makeshift shelter, $915,000 to feed fewer than 1,000 clients, $343,000 for extra security and thousands of dollars in miscellaneous costs, city records show.
In total for November, San Diego taxpayers spent $5.7 million to temporarily house about 900 people just over $190,000 a day, or more than $6,000 per person. That’s more than $210 per day for each person living at the shelter.
