The San Diego City Council unanimously approved a $5.12 billion budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year, focused on improving infrastructure and including additional funding for programs intended to reduce homelessness, street paving and public safety.
The budget allocates an additional $24.5 million to maintain and operate the nearly 70% growth in shelter bed capacity under Gloria's administration, an additional $5 million to further expand shelter capacity in the coming year, including funding for a Safe Sleeping program; $2.3 million for rental assistance for San Diegans at risk of losing their housing; and $1.
According to the mayor's office, another $38.6 million is tabbed for parks, playgrounds and green spaces. "This budget will allow the San Diego Police Department to hire more professional staff to augment staffing, bring back Smart Streetlights to support investigations and address the proliferation of illegal drugs in our communities," said Police Chief David Nisleit.
