The San Diego City Council approved a resolution that declares housing a human right, just like food and water. "Housing is a human right and we must make this declaration to ensure we as elected leaders and our whole community own our responsibility to take the actions necessary to ensure every San Diegan has a real opportunity to have the decent and stable housing necessary for a dignified and healthy life," said Council President Sean Elo-Rivera. During a news conference Monday morning, Elo-Rivera was joined by Council President Pro Tem Monica Montgomery-Steppe, and council members Joe LaCava, and Raul Campillo. The declaration passed unanimously. MORE: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/city-council-vote-housing-as-a-human-right/509-228781b9-6eb9-466c-821c-2f2b4daf7c0b
