“We don’t claim to have the solution to homelessness, it is a human tragedy with a thousand and one origins. However, we do claim to have an approach that will end the widespread inhumane suffering taking place on our streets, canyons and parks. The answer is Sunbreak Ranch. It can be implemented today and replicated everywhere.”

The second best location for Sunbreak Ranch is on the vast land parcels owned by the City of San Diego and County of San Diego in the Otay Mesa / Brown Field area. It is a spectacular open space setting with breathtaking views and fresh air, just 13 miles southeast of downtown San Diego.
