"San Diego Mayor Proposes 1,000-Bed Homeless Shelter Near Airport"

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria has proposed a plan to convert a vacant warehouse into a 1,000-bed shelter for the homeless, aiming to provide long-term solutions for those in need. The facility, located near the airport, would offer on-site security, meals, housing navigation, and case management services. The proposal, pending City Council approval, is part of the city's comprehensive approach to addressing homelessness, with funding from various sources including local, state, and federal funds, as well as contributions from local donors.

California Counties Invest Millions in Affordable Housing and Mental Health Services

The City of San Diego is allocating an additional $20 million to the "Bridge to Home" affordable housing program, providing gap financing for new home construction. This funding will assist builders with upfront costs such as land acquisition and financing, helping them apply for direct grants, low-interest loans, or tax credits. The program has already funded 937 affordable homes, with 272 of them offering supportive services for the homeless or those at risk. The investment of $48 million has leveraged $568 million in total development costs, facilitating the creation of housing at affordable income levels.

San Diego Mayor Gloria's 'Missing Middle' Housing Proposal Faces Opposition and Setbacks

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria's proposal to implement Senate Bill 10 (SB 10), which would allow for the development of up to 10 homes on lots restricted to single-family homes, faced opposition from the San Diego Planning Commission. The proposal included restrictions such as limiting the number of homes based on lot size and requiring affordable housing units in larger buildings. Homeowners expressed concerns about privacy and aesthetics, while affordable housing builders and advocates argued for increased access to exclusive neighborhoods. The Planning Commission voted to oppose Gloria's implementation of SB 10, prompting the mayor to hold more workshops to seek a compromise.

Cities Struggle to Address Homelessness Amidst Growing Crisis.

The San Diego City Council has approved an ordinance that prohibits homeless people from camping on the street and in other public places. The ordinance prohibits tent encampments in all public spaces throughout the city if shelter beds are available and would ban tent encampments at all times in certain sensitive areas. Mayor Todd Gloria has pushed hard for the ordinance in recent weeks, urging citizens to sign a petition and speaking on the issue at news conferences. However, opponents say the proposed ordinance won't solve the issue and would essentially make being homeless illegal in San Diego, pushing people experiencing homelessness into other neighborhoods or cities.
