Tag: Homeless population decline

San Diego sees significant drop in urban homelessness, but challenges persist. The homeless population downtown hits 2-year low, but experts warn that the crisis remains. Despite enforcement efforts and new shelters, the number of homeless individuals countywide losing housing outpaces those finding it. Challenges include limited access to addiction treatment, medical care, and mental health assistance. Many expressed openness to congregate shelter options. Though the decline downtown is encouraging, the overall homelessness situation in San Diego and neighboring cities is not fully resolved.
