The state set aside $10 million for San Diego County's cabin project. A state spokesperson says California plans to recoup that funding.
In 2023, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that he was allotting $1 billion toward addressing homelessness. The plan included 1,200 tiny homes, and 150 were set for San Diego County The plan was approved by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors earlier this year, but Chairwoman Nora Vargas announced on Friday that the plan has been rescinded.
Vargas’ staff confirmed in a statement to NBC 7 that the 150 tiny homes planned for Spring Valley was part of that program. “The state’s commitment was to provide 1,200 beds to the identified jurisdictions. With the exception of the Sacramento project, the state is supplying direct grant allocations to the other jurisdictions for delivery of the remaining tiny homes," a California state spokesperson said in a statement, in part, to NBC 7.
According to the plan, 150 cabins will be built at 8534 Jamacha Road, near State Route 125, on land the county will lease from the California State Department of Transportation. NBC 7's Kelvin Henry reports on May 4, 2024.
