Issue Position: Homelessness

Issue Position

We must ensure that our neighbors are lifted out of homelessness and provided with supportive housing with wrap-around services to get them back on their feet. We cannot allow the humanitarian and public health crisis of homelessness to continue unchecked statewide. As Chair of the Regional Taskforce on the Homeless I have worked tirelessly to update systems of care, identify funding streams, and increase housing supply for our most vulnerable San Diegans. I also led the creation of a first-of-its-kind comprehensive plan to make meaningful progress on addressing homelessness in San Diego County.

Taking best practices from San Diego to Sacramento, I will fight for a permanent stream of homelessness funding, comprehensive statewide planning, and updated care and wrap around services so that the most vulnerable Californians have a path out of poverty.
