Priest builds shelter village for San Diego homeless
In a sandy adobe complex on the edge of downtown, Rev. Joe Carroll runs a two‑tier home for the homeless. Stage One provides beds, showers, and a daily sign‑in for seven days, then weekly stays as residents progress toward privacy. Adjacent, the St. Vincent de Paul–Jean Kroc Center offers job training, schooling, welfare help, legal aid, housing advice, and a multigrade school for children. Since becoming monsignor, Carroll has raised millions, turning thrift and meals into a sprawling, village‑like effort with a planned 10,000‑square‑foot clinic expansion.
