Hundreds of San Diego’s homeless were forced to evacuate a downtown shelter on Thursday, December 6, 2018 after heavy rains caused a flash flood.
City crews worked with local police, fire fighters and lifeguards to safety evacuate the shelter.
A temporary shelter was established at the SDCCU Stadium where Family Health Centers of San Diego stepped in to provide much needed medications. Many of those staying at the shelter feared their medications were washed away in the flood waters. Several people were cited by the San Diego Union Tribune as seeing personal items like backpacks, clothing and medication floating in the flood water.
Additionally, the American Red Cross provided cots and blankets, the Lucky Duck Foundation contributed clothing, the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office donated blankets, Feeding San Diego brought food, and the San Diego Humane Society attended to pets that were also staying at the shelter.
It is unclear when the Alpha Project, the organization who operates the shelter, anticipates the facility to reopen.

Here is where the fun begins. We are asking you to share your “OneofOne” Rancho Mesa moment with us where you felt we exceeded your expectations through our customer service, risk management practices, industry expertise, workshops or any other way, big or small, where you felt that “OneofOne” moment with us. We don’t need anything elaborate, just a quick sentence or two describing that moment.
“There is no way that Mauzy could’ve gotten where they’re at today, without Rancho Mesa as a partner.”
“Thank you so much for your incredible support of MAAC and our ongoing work to help families and individuals achieve self-sufficiency in San Diego County.”
“Working with Rancho Mesa, we have reduced our mod, reduced our costs, and increased our control.”
By doing this, we hope to create an “OneofOne” moment with you. Let me tell you how. For every client of ours that sends us their Rancho Mesa “OneofOne” moment, they will go into a drawing for the privilege of naming the examination room.
We believe strongly in supporting our entire non-profit community, so from all the entries we will draw a total of 11 companies names. For the first 10 we draw, we will make a $250 donation in their behalf to anyone of our non-profits or to the non-profit of their choice. The 11th and final name drawn will be awarded the naming rights to the examination room. We will hold this drawing live online on April 2nd at 10:00 am.
Please join us; let's have some fun, share a Rancho Mesa "OneofOne” moment, help us contribute to our local non-profit community. And let's create that new "OneofOne" moment with you.
Submit your "OneofOne" moment to your Rancho Mesa broker.

About Family Health Centers of San Diego
Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD) is a nonprofit organization rich in history and tradition. In 1911, the San Diego Industrial School was built on the site where our first clinic now stands. This school was originally a settlement house that provided Barrio Logan’s immigrant residents with social services. The community grew around this location, and by 1940, Barrio Logan had become one of the largest Mexican-American communities on the West Coast.
