Cities can apply for part of a $10 million grant to help fund variety of housing options
Any San Diego County city that opens a new homeless shelter will be provided with various county-funded services under a memorandum of understanding proposed Monday.
“As we award those grants, we will be looking for what cities can move fast,” Fletcher said about how funding will be determined. “Who can quickly get things up and running. Who can get people off the street and get them the help and services they need.”Fletcher said priority for the funding will go for shelters that can be up and running in months rather than years.
“That’s what we need,” she said about the county agreement to provide services at shelters. “We need wrap-around services. We can’t just say, ‘Here’s a voucher.’ Do they need mental health services? Do they have an ID?”“I know it’s one-time funding, and that is a challenge,” she said. “However, when we’re looking to address homelessness and unsheltered people, we need to throw everything at it and try to make things work.
“I’ve always been a proponent of smaller shelters spread throughout the county,” he said, adding that homeless people generally want to stay in their own cities. “I certainly welcome and encourage cities to take advantage of that.” Fletcher said the county already has worked with the city of San Diego on various projects to help homeless people, but the problem is one that affects cities throughout the county, and it will take a multi-jurisdictional effort to address.
