Programs helping those at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness got a $12 million boost Tuesday.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors accepted the state grant as round six of Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention funding to sustain key County programs that provide emergency and permanent housing support and stabilization.
“These funds have been a lifeline for San Diegans, helping people take their first step toward stabilization and permanent housing,” said Dijana Beck, County director of the office of homeless solutions.
The Regional Homeless Assistance Program provides emergency housing by using local participating hotels as a first step into housing stabilization. This program serves individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the unincorporated area. In addition, wrap-around services provide case management and housing navigation services. Currently, this program serves up to 250 households on a given night. Since 2020, more than 2,700 people have had a safe place to sleep with 40% moving on to permanent housing.
