Description
Local non-profits are trying to figure out a way to help the thousands of migrants expected to cross our border after Title 42 ends on May 11th. It's estimated more than 10,000 migrants could cross the southern border daily.
"We want to ensure those individuals have a place to go," said Vino Pajanor, CEO of Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego.
Catholic Charities is one of several local non-profits preparing for a possible influx.
Pajanor says they've added staff and have been buying extra supplies such as toiletries, diapers and blankets. But, they're limited on how many migrants they can help.
Catholic Charities runs three shelters in San Diego and Imperial Counties, with a combined capacity of 1,500 people a day.
