San Diego County approves a 70-unit homeless cabin site in Lemon Grove funded by $8.5m ARP Act.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved a 70-unit sleeping cabin site for homeless residents in Lemon Grove, funded by the $8.5m American Rescue Plan Act. The project will consist of offices, restrooms, storage facilities, and support services including case management and 24-hour security. This follows a rejected Spring Valley project due to safety concerns. Local officials remain optimistic about addressing homelessness with community engagement and state funding support.
