August 29, 2016 (San Diego) - On August 10, 2016, Congressman Scott Peters (D-San Diego), along with city and county officials, met to discuss the issue of homelessness in San Diego. The key question is how funding by the U.S. Department of Housing and Development (HUD) can be updated so that San Diego gets its fair share of money each year. A recent Voice of San Diego report found that despite having the nation’s third largest homeless population, San Diego gets less than many other cities with fewer homeless people.
HUD has opened up a page on its website known as HUD Exchange. Anyone can go to thehttps://www.federalregister.gov/ webpage and select HUD Exchange to leave comments on why federal funding for homelessness should be updated to assure that San Diego gets a fair share. The deadline for comments is September 23, 2016.
