An adviser to Gov. Newsom came to San Diego County to listen to the stories of several dozen residents and learn from their experiences. He left with a promise to address one of the issues by working with a local organization, Jewish Family Service of San Diego.
For one San Diego woman, it’s losing the government benefits that helped feed her family because she got a $1 an hour raise.
To get the conversation in San Diego going, Tubbs shared his own story: how he grew up poor, with an incarcerated father, and then became the mayor of Stockton. Then he founded a nonprofit,“The idea of ending poverty seems radical” to the people working on this issue, Tubbs said. But for the people actually experiencing poverty, it’s not radical. It just means they have reliable access to food, affordable child care and other necessities.Then, he turned to the group.
Connie Serrano, a preschool teacher with a bachelor’s degree who lives in City Heights, said she pays about 60 percent of her income on rent. The session was organized and hosted by Jewish Family Service of San Diego and moderated by Tubbs andAt the end of the evening, Tubbs pledged to work with Jewish Family Service to address at least one of the problems that surfaced at the session, related to the expiration of benefits.
