Gov. Gavin Newsom visited a homeless encampment in downtown San Diego on Wednesday morning to highlight his California Blueprint, a plan to tackle 'existential threats,'' including the housing crisis, through a proposed $286.4 billion budget.
Months after the city cleared out homeless encampments from the Venice boardwalk, neighbors are seeing new tents pop up along the sidewalks and on the beach.
"Behavioral health and homelessness are inextricably linked, and we have the chance to invest in the former to help prevent the latter,'' state Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said."Governor Newsom's proposal will help expand access to housing and medical support for vulnerable populations with complex behavioral health conditions and people living in encampments.
"That means more people on their way to permanent housing, ending this nightmare,'' Gloria said."I thank for coming to San Diego today to highlight our program to reach out to residents living alongside our freeways and connect them to the safety of our shelters and the help they need to end their homelessness.''
