ordinance to projects with 10 or more units and improve the tenant noticing
requirements.
It is the first item after public comment on the

appeals made on behalf of low income tenants.
10 Year Plan to End
Homelessness
The region's 10 Year Plan to End
Homelessness will be heard by the City of San Diego's Committee on Public
Safety & Neighborhood Services on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 at 2:00 pm. The
plan adopts a "Housing First" approach to ending and preventing chronic
homelessness for the mentally ill and dual diagnosed homeless. The emphasis is
to provide permanent housing with on-site supportive services. There are many
in the homeless service community that have concerns over the plan, fearing
that it takes away support for emergency and transitional housing services.
The plan supporters do not agree with that assessment. The Committee will be
asked to accept the plan and provide direction on implementation.
