County Hosts Focus Group on Housing Needs

 
In preparation for the development of the County's Five-year Consolidated Plan, their consultants are holding a focus group on Thursday, September 24 at 9 a.m. to discuss the housing needs of residents in the County of San Diego. It will be held at 3989 Ruffin Road in San Diego.
