the San Diego City Council referred Mayor Todd Gloria’s Housing Action Package 2.0 back to Land Use & Housing Committee.
Housing Action Package 2.0 is a set of policies that aims to implement state law to allow the construction of more new homes near transit, provide protections to existing residents, and increase the supply of land available for new home development.
Councilmembers expressed the need to create regulations that encourage the development of homes for San Diego’s diverse population but could not reach a consensus after several hours of public comment and discussion.
Despite the outcome, Mayor Gloria has expressed interest in reviewing the package and bringing it back at a later date.
The Chamber spoke in support of the package and will continue to monitor next steps on this policy proposal.

Before PLF, Alexander Morales was a single father struggling to understand his son Antonio’s emotional needs. “I learned to have more patience with him,” Morales reveals, highlighting the personal growth he’s experienced through PLF’s programs. Today, Antonio is excelling in school, embodying the profound impact of PLF’s support. According to Morales, “My son has had an advantage that other kids haven’t had. You never know; he could be the president. He could be the mayor. Just from this program, the opportunity he had to come here… my son is getting the best.”
ECS provides $38 million in health and human services in the areas of homelessness, mental health, substance use disorder treatment, and early childhood education across 23 locations to more than 7,000 clients in the San Diego region.
ECS has six programs that provide this broad spectrum of care:
Para Las Familias (PLF) is an outpatient behavioral and mental health clinic, specializing in bilingual services for low-income children ages 0 to 12.

PLF offers screenings, assessments, and both family and group therapy, extending support into homes and classrooms through school observation and teacher/provider consultation. Besides child-focused services, PLF also extends mental health services to adults and conducts weekly parenting groups.
ACCORD assists adults arrested for DUI in reclaiming their lives through targeted treatments.
Central East Regional Recovery Center (CERRC) offers outpatient mental health support and substance use disorder treatments.
Head Start offers bilingual education for low-income children up to age five and wraparound services for their families.

This month, the County Board of Supervisors voted to allocate $3 million for migrant support services, with funding coming from the American Rescue Plan Act. This funding aims to last up to three months with the County considering long-term solutions from the federal government and finding a location for a temporary migrant center.
“The funding measure, recommended by District 1 Supervisor and Board Chair Nora Vargas, is one of the first steps local officials have taken to address the more than 13,000 migrants — many of them asylum seekers — who have been dropped off at transit centers across the county since Sept. 13. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol continue to process migrants, many of whom waited sometimes days at the U.S.-Mexico border, before dropping off around 500 people a day.”
