Dozens of people who live in Spring Valley spent their Saturday taking to the streets to call on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to halt a project to build 150 sleeping cabins in a vacant lot along Jamacha Road.
A point-in-time count of the homeless population in 2023 showed there are an estimated 200 people living on the streets in San Diego County's unincorporated areas, which includes Spring Valley. The county's plan approved the construction of 150 sleeping cabins, which can hold up to two people each. Hendricks said she's done the math, and that's not adding up.
Spring Valley protesters hold up a sign on June 1, 2024, calling for the County Board of Supervisors to cease building 150 sleeping cabins in a vacant lot in the area. "I feel that our voices aren't being heard, we don't have representation here in Spring Valley," said Angelica Mendoza, a Spring Valley native who has been organizing these protests since the project was approved. Mendoza started a petition to call on the county to scrap the project altogether.
