Description
An annual summit to find solutions for the homelessness crisis was held on the UC San Diego campus Thursday, the same day Governor Gavin Newsom issued an Executive Order, directing cities across the state to clear homeless encampments.
"I think housing is a human right, but there’s a corresponding obligation to use it," said State Senator Catherine Blakespear.
She hosted the summit for a second year, which included different panels on addressing the crisis.
"People should not be able to live in public spaces or wherever they want. We’ve gotten to the point where we’re tolerating it and it’s become normalized," she added.
Mayor Todd Gloria took part in the summit. He told CBS 8 the governor's order aligns with what's already happening in San Diego under the city's encampment ban.
