The curtain has opened on "The Joan" in #LibertyStation. This project will welcome 50,000 theater-goers a year, create jobs, and expand access to the arts. It's proof that when civic vision, public investment, and private generosity come together, we can do big things.

I know San Diego’s housing crisis is deeply personal—and I want to hear your story. We’re launching a new video series to share real experiences of San Diegans working to stay housed—and highlight the prohousing policies that are helping to #BuildMoreHousing.

Today, some on the City Council attempted to fully override my veto—and failed. While the Council chose to override some items, the restored hours at libraries, rec centers, and lakes that San Diegans rely on will remain in place. My full message:

Today, I'm taking action on the City's budget. I'm preserving additional library and rec center hours as well as lake access—and I am vetoing other expenditures to restore services and keep the budget balanced. More: https://t.co/nbOOnlnE2K

The current state budget DOES NOT include new funding for #HHAP. Without funding San Diego could see 426 shelter beds and 30% of our street outreach teams eliminated. Contact your legislators and tell them to fund progress and invest in HHAP Round 7.

After 15 years of costly litigation, the City helped finalize a historic settlement between @sdcwa and @mwdh2o. This historic agreement is a win for San Diego ratepayers—avoiding costly legal fees and major spikes on your water bills in the future. https://t.co/byFwP15qWY

⚠️ Cutting State HHAP funding puts our progress on homelessness at risk. ⚠️ My fellow @CABigCityMayors and I are urging the Legislature to restore full #HHAP funding—because pulling back now would unravel years of work and push more people back onto the streets.
See the Big City Mayors' response to the state legislature's budget proposal which cuts funding for HHAP Round 7 in half, threatening to stall our momentum and unravel years of progress.

We’ve turned a former hotel in #MissionValley into 161 affordable rental homes with wraparound services for people who’ve experienced homelessness. This is proof that when we work together—City, County, State, and federal—we can make real progress to reduce homelessness.
