In March of 2021, the City of Costa Mesa completed the construction of the permanent Bridge Shelter at 3175 Airway Avenue.

The Costa Mesa City Council purchased the Airway property in March of 2019 and completed $4.5 million worth of capital improvements to convert the 26,000 square foot industrial warehouse to a 12,000-square-foot 72-bed shelter and a 14,000 square foot rentable tenant space.

Newport Beach entered into a partnership with the city and provided a one-time payment of $1.4 million in capital costs as well as $200,000 in furniture, fixtures and equipment for the site. Additionally, Newport Beach will provide $1 million annually for 20 set-aside beds.
