In this week's episode of Homeless in San Diego, we welcome San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan to discuss the launch of their new Shelter Ready app. During its beta testing phase, Interfaith's Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) used the app to help connect community members with available shelter beds. In collaboration with the DA's office and several nonprofit partners, the pilot has helped demonstrate Shelter Ready's potential to better connect people with available services across San Diego County.
