08 30, 2018 at 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm
Peter Seidler and Dan Shea studied homeless issues, convened business and political leaders and raised funding, bringing their ideas for a short-term solution to get homeless people off the streets to execution. Seidler is General Partner of the San Diego Padres and a founder and Managing Partner of Seidler Equity Partners, a family-owned private equity fund. Shea is a partner in Paradigm Investment Group, which runs 140 restaurants across the U.S. He is also co-owner of Donovan’s Steak and Chop House restaurants.
They will address San Diego’s homelessness situation including the following topics:
(a) What San Diego’s annual “point in time” homeless count tells us.
(b) The importance of a fact-based, analytical and collaborative culture among San Diego leaders (business, political, philanthropic, service providers, educational, etc.)
(c) The facts lead San Diego to Bridge Shelter Tents. Focused collaboration made them a success.
(d) Customizing the “Housing First” model for San Diego.
(e) Puzzle pieces including mental health, low cost supportive housing, veteran’s needs, the elderly, etc.
(f) Key next steps for all of us to support.
