The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

Why it matters

For Catherine Blakespear, securing these funds represents a concrete political achievement in addressing a major regional crisis—homelessness. These funds directly support housing solutions, such as tiny homes in Oceanside and incentives for landlords in San Diego County, which are key issues in her district.

This effort is part of a broader regional discussion, as San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan noted that while San Jose has seen success in reducing outdoor homelessness, there is a recognized lack of treatment capacity across California, including in San Diego. Blakespear's work is situated within this larger context of combining housing and behavioral health solutions.

What we don't know yet

  • Will the secured funds be sufficient to meet the overall housing needs of San Diego County?
  • How will the local officials prioritize the use of the $3 million for tiny homes in Oceanside?

What would change this answer

The Legislature passes Senate Bill 967 or Senate Bill 866This would provide a legislative framework for increasing interim housing and consistent data, potentially amplifying the impact of Blakespear's secured funds.
