Alvarez on Approval of Permanent Homeless Shelter


SAN DIEGO (March 24, 2015) Councilmember Alvarez has issued the
following statement in response to the San Diego City Councils approval
today of the proposed year-round housing facility for the homeless that
would replace the city of San Diego's temporary winter tent shelter:
Ive been advocating for a permanent solution ever since I was
elected to the City Council. After four years of speaking out against
the tent in Barrio Logan, I am very pleased that it finally made a
difference.
While it is certainly encouraging to see the tent removed and a shelter
identified, this is only one step of many in the right direction.
I would like to thank Councilmember Todd Gloria for his leadership
on this issue and to all the members of the community that have been
impacted and have provided their voice and concerns to the Council.
