http://serving-sandiego.com A resource for serving the homeless in San Diego Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:58:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 http://serving-sandiego.com/transportation-assistance/comment-page-1/#comment-2587 jon witte Sun, 06 Jan 2008 03:26:08 +0000 http://serving-sandiego.com/?page_id=16#comment-2587 As I was looking through the available resources for the homeless in San Diego, I realized that the primary means of locating and procuring the available services is through phone calls to the respective services. How are homeless people supposed to call these numbers if the majority of the numbers aren't toll free? It is highly unlikely that they will spend what little money they have on these phone calls because they are not guarantees for food and services (as compared to spending the money on food). Perhaps if these resources or a select few were listed in a free San Diego newspaper (distributed in front of grocery stores and other commercial businesses) with easy to follow directions on how to get to these places or how to receive transportation to these places, then perhaps the services would be more usefull and more people could benefit.
