Five- Year Work Plan Toward Goal of Ending Homelessness in Downtown San Diego

Five-Year Work Plan Toward Goal of Ending Homelessness in Downtown San Diego (2.2 MB)

CCDC has embraced an ambitious goal -- the end of homelessness in downtown San Diego -- and developed a Five- Year Work Plan that provides specific strategies and action steps. It incorporates significant input from the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), the San Diego Downtown Partnership, the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the United Way of San Diego County, the Corporation for Supportive Housing, and numerous local social service providers. 

It also aligns with local, state, and federal strategies and priorities, and is informed by evidence that demonstrates the effectiveness -- and cost-effectiveness -- of permanent supportive housing and housing first program models. 

The plan recommends the implementation of five strategies:

Strategy 1: Continue to expand supply of permanent supportive housing opportunities.

Strategy 2: Sustain and expand collaborations with regional partners and systems

Strategy 3: Strengthen partnerships with housing and homelessness services agencies

Strategy 4:  Advance policy reforms at Federal and State levels

Strategy 5: Provide appropriate oversight and collect and report date to measure progress, refine strategies, and leverage additional resources
