Despite a number of residents in opposition, the city of Escondido approved a new policy on homelessness on Wednesday night. This new policy prioritizes public safety and rejects the current Housing First model, while also stressing the need to help specifically Escondido's unsheltered population before helping anyone else. "Housing First may work for some people, but there are specific reasons why this is not the strategy for the city of Escondido," said Mayor Dane White, who has overcome homelessness and addiction himself. White defended his new policy, saying that California's current model does not work.
