SAN DIEGO (October 2, 2017) – Councilmember Alvarez has issued the following statement regarding Council’s declaration of a shelter crisis in the City of San Diego:

“I’ve been urging the City to act immediately to address this crisis. I will continue to demand that the City end street camping by bringing the homeless indoors to public buildings such as the old downtown library, Golden Hall, the former training facility of the Chargers and SDCCU stadium site - where they can receive vaccinations, mental health services, and addiction treatment.”
