As San Diego searches for solutions to its struggle with homelessness, city leaders are eyeing three hotels to help get people off the streets.
NBC 7 talked with residents who live in Mission Valley, near the area where one of the three hotels is located. Some expressed their support for the permanent housing proposal.Others said they worry about how this could change the safety in the community for their loved ones.
“We just hope that it doesn’t continue to spill over in the areas of family areas and make us … we just want safe spaces for the kids,” Tahni Nollenberger said. Before the San Diego Housing Commission moves forward with the purchase, Jacobs said they will assess the different sites to make sure they meet the needs of the people moving in.
She said the San Diego region has $34 million set aside, but they are hoping to receive $120 million from the state.“We’ll continue with our community engagement efforts and make sure to hear all of the stakeholders as we potentially advance this to application,” Jacobs said. In 2020, the San Diego Housing Commission converted two hotels into permanent housing, which created about 330 units.
