The Neil Good Day Center in San Diego's East Village is at risk of closure due to proposed budget cuts by Mayor Todd Gloria. - The center serves hundreds of homeless individuals daily with medical care, showers, laundry, and housing support.
- The cuts would eliminate over $4.5 million in funding, representing less than 1% of the city's homelessness spending. - The center saved taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars annually by reducing shelter use and emergency room visits.
- Deacon Jim Vargas urges the City Council and public to advocate against the cuts during the May 18 comment period.
