$5 Million for the Construction of the Bay Terrace Community (Senior) Center

A Facility that Every Community Resident Will Enjoy for Generations to Come

On Monday, April 23rd, Mayor Faulconer and I held a press conference to announce that the City secured $5 million in grant funding for the construction of the Bay Terrace Community Center. Later that day, the San Diego City Council unanimously passed the $5 million in funding to put the project in motion, thanks to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant program.

This was exciting news, not only for me and Council District 4, but also to the members of the Bay Terraces Filipino-American Senior Association. For nearly three decades, the members gather at the park to engage in daily activities including dancing, socializing, and building a community. In May 2016, we announced $500,000 for the design of the center. The 3,200 square foot facility will include a multi-purpose room, kitchen, office, restrooms, and site work to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards. The groundbreaking is expected to start fall of 2018.

City Council Meeting to Better Understand the Efforts to Address Homelessness in San Diego

On Tuesday, April 24th, I convened a Special City Council meeting dedicated to homelessness. The purpose of the meeting was to ensure that we are doing everything we can to enhance and support regional efforts and make sure that we are moving forward urgently and proactively to house our homeless.

We heard informational reports to better understand what’s being done to address homelessness at the county level, what the efforts and strategies are at the city level, and what we can do better regarding this issue. We also revisited and updated the City of San Diego’s Comprehensive Policy on Homelessness, which has not been updated since 1995, to make sure it is reflective of the actions and strategies needed to take on the challenges in 2018. I established the Select Committee on Homelessness in March 2017, and the City Council unanimously supported my motion to extend the life of the committee for 2018.

Homelessness continues to be one of my top priorities as council president, and I know that we can, and need to do more to house our homeless and provide the necessary resources to improve their quality of life.
