San Diego Housing Commission President and CEO Rick Gentry said Friday that 1,007 veterans had found secure housing under the initiative announced by Faulconer in March 2016, and 200 other veterans are in the pipeline for housing.

Gentry said he expects an additional 1,000 homeless people to be housed within the next 15 months using the formula created by Housing Our Heroes.

The Housing Our Heroes initiative focused on just the city of San Diego and one area of National City and was launched before the most recent count was taken.

Jonathan Herrera, Faulconer's senior adviser on homelessness coordination, estimated there still are about 500 homeless veterans in San Diego.
