During a recent visit to San Diego, Assistant Secretary Frederico
Juarbe Jr. visited several model shelters for homeless veterans. On the left,
the Villages at Cabrillo in Long Beach looks more like a gated community of
garden apartments than a homeless shelter. It is run by a coalition of eight
service providers headed up by U.S. Vets. In the center, Mr. Juarbe (left)
talks with Bob Simpson, executive vice president of the Vietnam Veterans of San
Diego at its Rehabilitation Center on Pacific Highway. On the right is the
1950's motel that currently houses VVSD's Rehabilitation Center.
