This year we continued to document the region’s homelessness crisis. We met people on the street who offered us a look inside their lives and the hardships they’ve experienced. We also documented moments of joy. San Diegans spent time with their families, broke barriers and enjoyed life in their communities.
Here are some of our favorite images of 2023. All photos were shot by Ariana Drehsler.
January
Heavy rains in January caused major flooding in San Diego’s neighborhoods. While most eyes were on Mission Valley (a spot that usually floods), I drove to San Ysidro on Jan. 16 and found ranchers struggling to move their animals out of flooded areas. I documented the chaotic scene that day in a photo essay.

Trash can be seen from what is left from a homeless encampment underneath a freeway on Commercial Street on May 18, 2023.
June
Rachel Hayes sits in her new apartment and is overcome with emotion in San Ysidro on June 20, 2023. Hayes had not lived in a home since 2012. I met Hayes while working on a photo essay about the what unhoused residents think is missing from the region’s response to homelessness. When I met Hayes, she was living in a tent in downtown.
July

October
Teenagers and young adults gathered late at night to dance the night away to electronic dance music (EDM) inside a tunnel. After hearing about the underground raves in San Diego and other cities throughout the country, I wanted to see if anything had changed since the 90’s.
November
