We toured the Bethel 1 project in Logan Heights, with all units going to formerly homeless veterans & seniors!🎉 Bethel AME San Diego is building it in partnership with Yes in God's Backyard (YIGBY), which partners with faith-based institutions to transform underutilized land into affordable housing.

Housing is a human need. As rents soar, more people are left without shelter. Arresting people for being unhoused doesn’t solve the housing crisis—it misuses funds that can be used to create affordable housing solutions: www.washingtonpost.c... #HousingEndsHomelessness

People experiencing homelessness have poor health, struggle to access care & face high ER and hospitalization rates—despite high rates of insurance. What happens when Medicaid cuts make things worse? Explore current challenges: buff.ly/atxK3fU Stay tuned for our expanded report—coming soon!

A Black homeowner gets a $330K home appraisal. When her white husband shows the house instead, it jumps to $465K. It’s not a glitch; it’s bias. This op-ed outlines how local policy can address it and improve equity.👉 bit.ly/4gcBMyn #HousingEquity #AppraisalBias #LocalSolutions

A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

Most congregations are land rich and cash poor, but even so, they bring far more to the table than they realize. “There are a lot of benefits for a developer to work on a church property," says Jill Shook. Listen here: bit.ly/45ivtWe

Your Friday good news 🎉🎉🎉 380 new housing units (100 reserved for low-income households) will be built near the Blue Line trolley, which will: ✅ Reduce traffic ✅ Reduce air pollution ✅ Help low-income families put more $ toward basic needs www.kpbs.org/news/living/... #housingsolveshomelessness

People need homes not handcuffs. Trump’s plan to institutionalize unhoused people with addiction or mental health issues will put more people on the street & in prison. This perpetuates a discriminatory system that harms unhoused Black people the most. We must fight back. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

When it comes to addressing #homelessness, we do *not* have to choose between respecting human dignity and upholding public safety -- we can and should have both. 🤝 voiceofsandiego.org/2025/08/20/b... #homelessnessissolvable #escondido #sandiego @voiceofsandiego.org

Positive stories are rare on the homelessness beat. @voiceofsandiego.org intern Tessa Balc delivered a good one today on a new strategy that's working in San Diego: diversion.

Why support upstream #homelessness prevention? "Keeping people housed is not only a smart economic decision. It supports better outcomes in physical health, emotional well-being, and preserves dignity. A societal shift to focus on prevention is humane and smart." 💡 rsffoundation.org/homelessness...

Last year, Monarch School, which serves students experiencing homelessness, implemented the program with remarkable results: 97% of their students who completed pre- and mid-year testing showed increased literacy scores.

President Trump’s new law-and-order approach to homelessness bears several striking resemblances to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s. But Trump doesn’t want to stop at banning homeless encampments and pushing people into treatment, and that’s where he and Newsom diverge: cal.news/45lhG0W 📸 Kristian Carreon

Pres. Trump released a budget blueprint for the next fiscal year that would take a chainsaw to social, environmental and education programs. Some of the sharpest cuts are directed at housing programs that are meant to serve the poor, housing insecure and unhoused. buff.ly/cKIxhgi 📸 Larry Valenzuela

It's #mythbusting time💥. People experiencing #homelessness are stereotyped as ‘transient drifters’ seeking services in urban areas. FACT👉 People experiencing homelessness in California are Californians. 9 out of 10 lost their last housing in CA and 75% live in the same county as their last housing.

San Diego's biggest school district is looking to get more into the affordable housing game. More details via @jakobmcwhinney.bsky.social. 👇🏘️

We 💙 this success story! 25 chronically homeless women in Michigan find stability through long-term transitional housing with wraparound support. People with complex care needs represent a small % of homeless but often utilize an outsized proportion of public resources. www.mlive.com/news/grand-r...

We're celebrating another good idea put into practice in San Diego communities! In La Mesa, rental subsidies that prevent seniors on fixed incomes from being pushed into homelessness are "more dignified" and "financially very prudent.” 💡 www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/03/17/l...
