San Diego County officials are trying to create more shelter options in cities other than the city of San Diego.
San Diego County officials say they’re ready to help create more homeless shelters across the region. KPBS health reporter Matt Hoffman says it’s up to local cities to join the program.
"We’re just trying to make it as easily as possible to get things quickly moving," Fletcher said Monday after a meeting with city officials from across the region. "For far too long everyone has said 'hey we have to deal with homelessness,' until it actually comes to sighting a facility. Then people get awfully squeamish," Fletcher said."The reality is we can’t do that. That can't be the way we go as a region ... we've got to be willing to address the situation we face on the streets."
"My great hope is that we have way more proposals that we can move quickly ... than we have funds available," Fletcher said.
