SAN DIEGO – Mayor Todd Gloria and City Council President Sean Elo-Rivera issued the following joint statement regarding progress on the lease terms for a commercial building on Kettner Boulevard that could shelter 1,000 people experiencing homelessness, discussed in closed session on Monday:

“For months, the City has negotiated aggressively on behalf of taxpayers in order to lower costs and bring about more favorable deal terms based off the feedback from the public and City Council. The Mayor will be requesting a public hearing of City Council’s consideration of the proposed Kettner and Vine homeless shelter, and the Council President has committed to efficiently processing that request.”
