SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Ahead of presenting his proposed $4.6 billion spending plan to the San Diego City Council Tuesday, Mayor Todd Gloria Monday detailed parts of the budget designed to help address the city s homelessness issue with a compassionate, person-centered approach.
Gloria is proposing around $10 million in investments toward programs to put unsheltered San Diegans on a path to permanent housing, as well as funding to support a new Homelessness Strategies and Solutions Department. Homelessness is a humanitarian crisis, and ending it is my top priority, he said. My budget invests in programs that lead directly to moving our vulnerable neighbors off the streets and into care, shelter and, ultimately, stable homes. It s time we begin to match the severity of the emergency with the strategies necessary to meaningfully confront it.
