According to city records, through April 30, the shelter had served 105 women, 77 of whom were chronically homeless.

A total of 22 women exited the shelter to temporary or permanent destinations.In about two weeks, the old Central Library in Downtown San Diego will become a homeless shelter, NBC 7's Kelvin Henry reports.
