Street homelessness seems to be surging throughout the county.
At the 2017 State of the City address, Mayor Kevin Faulconer said reducing homelessness should be made the region’s No. 1 priority, and he introduced a plan for how he wants to do it.
Faulconer’s proposal isn’t the only one being discussed right now. A countywide group known as the Regional Task Force on the Homeless is also talking about some big ideas.
In this week’s San Diego Explained, NBC 7 San Diego’s Monica Dean and Voice of San Diego’s Lisa Halverstadt highlight how local leaders plan to address the growing homeless population.
