IMPORTANT CITY COUNCIL HEARING ON HOMELESS CAMPING - The Land Use and Housing Committee will meet tomorrow April 13th at 1:00 pm to hear Amendments to the San Diego Municipal Code Related to Unauthorized Camping or Encampments on Public Property. As proposed, the ordinance will make amendments and additions to the San Diego Municipal Code to prohibit encampments on public property when there is shelter availability. However, regardless of shelter availability, encampments will be prohibited at locations considered to be high risk of public health and safety, including:

• within two blocks of K-12 schools

• within two blocks of a homeless shelter

• along trolley tracks and transportation hubs

• certain parks like Balboa Park, Presidio Park, Mission Bay Park and shoreline parks

• canyons

• and waterways like the San Diego River.

This would benefit our coastal communities and your voice is needed in support of these proposed changes. Please either attend in person, by zoom or submit written public comment in support of these changes.
