🎬 YouTube Description: Elysian Shores Supportive Housing Origin Story

📢 Welcome to Eve Pacific Media! I’m Noble Woods III, United States Marine Corps veteran and founder & CEO of Elysian Shores Supportive Housing. In this deeply personal episode, I share why we built Elysian Shores, the journey that led me here, and how this project will help veterans reclaim their lives with dignity, stability, and support.

🪖 From Personal Struggle to Purpose‑Driven Mission

After leaving the Marine Corps, I faced some of the darkest chapters of my life — homelessness, addiction, broken relationships, and despair. But with support from family, friends, and the staff at the Hines VA Hospital, I found hope, sobriety, and a new purpose. That experience ignited a mission to pay forward the grace I received — to ensure no veteran slips through the cracks the way I almost did.

Despite progress, San Diego still has hundreds of veterans experiencing homelessness — men and women who served our country but still sleep on sidewalks, in cars, or in canyons. That’s why Elysian Shores isn’t just another shelter — it’s a comprehensive, permanent solution rooted in dignity and community.

🏙️ A Vision for Lasting Transformation

Elysian Shores Supportive Housing will convert an underused downtown San Diego office tower into approximately 200 units of permanent supportive housing for veterans and their families, turning unused space into homes of hope.

Rather than simply housing someone, we’re creating a vertical community with three dedicated service floors. Under one roof, residents will have access to:

🧠 Recovery Services – addiction counseling and peer support

🩺 Clinical Care – on‑site medical, mental health, and trauma‑informed therapy

💼 Vocational Training – job skills, resume workshops, and employment connections

This integrated model ensures that residents can heal, grow, and thrive — all without the stress of navigating services scattered across the city.

💡 Why Now Matters

San Diego is currently facing a historic vacant office tower opportunity — a rare moment where distressed properties can be repurposed for social good rather than being left empty. By acting now, we can bring veterans inside faster, cheaper, and at meaningful scale.

This project is built for long‑term success using a blended funding strategy that combines philanthropic support, mission‑driven investment, and long‑term affordability programs — not relying solely on restrictive HUD structures. Together with committed nonprofit partners, this initiative is poised to deliver sustainable change.
