Homelessness Can Be Solved — Join Us By Sponsoring World Homeless Day

On October 10th, San Diegans will gather at the County Administration Waterfront Park for World Homeless Day — a day dedicated to lifting up our neighbors experiencing homelessness and showing our community that homelessness can be solved.

This is more than an awareness event; it’s a call to action. We come together to honor the dignity of every person and share a powerful message: with the right housing, resources, and community will, homelessness can be solved.

A Special Evening with YIMBY of San Diego

On Thursday evening, October 9th, as we prepare for World Homeless Day, YIMBY of San Diego will present innovative solutions for the housing crisis during our luminary setup at Waterfront Park.

This special presentation will spotlight how expanding housing options is a key part of proving that homelessness can be solved. Visitors are invited to come early, help set up the luminaries — each one honoring the dignity and memory of people impacted by homelessness — and learn more about how housing policy can drive lasting change.

Why Sponsor World Homeless Day in San Diego

When you sponsor World Homeless Day at Waterfront Park, you invest in solutions that prove homelessness can be solved.

• Amplify Voices for Change: Sponsorship helps highlight the stories of people with lived experience — their stories remind us that homelessness is not permanent and homelessness can be solved.

• Build Awareness of Real Solutions: Your support funds resource booths, education stations, and the YIMBY of San Diego presentation, which will showcase housing strategies that demonstrate homelessness can be solved through bold housing investments.

• Create Welcoming, Inclusive Spaces: Contributions cover accessibility needs, translation, signage, and gathering spaces — because equity and dignity are part of how homelessness can be solved.

• Strengthen Local Solutions: Sponsorship ensures this event shines a light on effective local programs that prove homelessness can be solved right here in San Diego.
