About Homeless Court Program
Participates in the Homeless Court program, which helps homeless adults resolve misdemeanor cases (no felonies or parking tickets) involving the City of San Diego. Attorneys can also provide general legal information about issues the Homeless Court cannot resolve. The special court session is held once a month on an alternating basis at St Vincent de Paul Village or Vietnam Veterans of San Diego. Defendants meet with their defense attorney 1 week before the court hearing. Defendants must be able to show the court evidence of their progress and activities to overcome homelessness. Judges give court sentences for program activities in which defendants are already involved.
