ICYMI, check out the report we released this morning which provides some much-needed insight into the number of people exiting and entering homelessness in our region.
One of the questions we're often asked is "how many people did you house last month & how many people became homeless?" For the 1st time, we're able to quantify that number. For every 10 people who found housing, 13 people experienced homelessness for the first time. 1/
Such a well-deserved recognition at the 2022 SDHF Ruby Awards honoring San Diego’s heroes of affordable housing. #RubyAwards22
