THANK YOU.

>>> WITH THE MIGRANT WELCOME CENTER TO CLOSE TOMORROW, WILL HAPPEN TO THE PEOPLE IT SERVES.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

LEADERS AND COMMUNITIES ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT.

THEY STILL HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN THEY HAVE ANSWERS.

>> IT HAS BEEN OVER A WEEK SINCE THE MICRO CENTER SAID IT WAS CLOSING DOWN.

MAKING SOME PEOPLE NERVOUS.

THOSE WHO MAKE AN EFFORT TO SERVE THE MIGRANTS BEFORE THE CENTER OPENED.

>> IT IS GIVING ME A LITTLE BIT OF HEARTBURN.

IT TOOK A TOLL ON ALL THE RESOURCES AND PROVIDERS THAT WERE OUT THERE.

>> THE OCEANSIDE TRANSIT CENTER IS WHERE CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION DROPPED OFF MIGRANTS.

>> WOULD AVERAGE 100 PER DAY.

LAST FALL, IT WAS NONSTOP EVERY DAY, MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

NO BREAKS, NO TIME OFF.

>> MEETING WITH LOCAL LEADERS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE DROP-OFFS CAN START AGAIN.

LAST FALL, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION STEPPED UP TO HELP.

>> HAVING TO RELY ON THEM AGAIN AND HOPING THAT THEY RESPOND.

THAT IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN.

IT WAS A LOT, IT TOOK A LOT OUT OF THEM AND OUT OF THE COMMUNITY.

THERE IS ALREADY A NEED FOR RESOURCES.

HAVING TO RESPOND WOULD BE A HUGE SETBACK FOR US.

>> ONE OF THE NONPROFITS THAT PROVIDE OPTIONS FOR MIGRANTS LAST FALL.

>> WAS INTENSE AND IT WAS HARD TO COMMUNICATE WITH BORDER PATROL AND HOW THEY ARE GOING TO DRAW PEOPLE.

>> HIS ORGANIZATION CANNOT HELP TO THE SAME DEGREE.

>> WE ARE GOING TO EVALUATE WHAT WE CAN DO.

IT CANNOT BE ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT WE DID MONTHS AGO.

>> INTERFAITH COMMUNITY SERVICES IS ANOTHER LEADER IN THE COMMUNITY EFFORT.

THEY DECLINED AN INTERVIEW.

SAYING THAT THEIR RESOURCES WERE STRETCHED THEM BEFORE.

AS A NUMBER OF MIGRANTS INCREASE, THEY CANNOT MEET THE NEEDS.

THEY ARE PREPARING A RAPID RESPONSE FOR CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION WHICH THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO THE REQUEST FOR COMMENT.

KPBS NEWS.

>> AN ORDINANCE THAT WILL PROTECT RENTERS THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THE FLOODS.

A MORATORIUM IN HARD-HIT AREAS.

HOPING TO ADD MORE PROTECTION AFTER THAT.

>> WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT TENANTS HAVE THE PEACE OF MIND.

WE CAN HAVE A LOCAL ORDINANCE IN PLACE THAT THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK.

>> THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES RELOCATION WITH A STOPPAGE OF RATE HIKES.

>>> COMING UP TONIGHT, WE CAN SEE SOME AREAS OF FOG.

GRADUALLY LITTLE BIT OF A WARMING PATTERN BEFORE POLAR CONDITIONS AND PRECEPT RETURNS.

>>> DESPITE A NARROW PATH TO THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION, SHE IS RENEWING HER PLEDGE TO KEEP FIGHTING AS VOTERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA PREPARED TO GO TO THE POLLS ON SATURDAY.

>> NIKKI HALEY IS PUSHING AGAINST CALLS FOR HER TO DROP OUT.

VOWING TO CONTINUE BEYOND THE HOMESTAY PRIMARY AND THROUGH SUPER TUESDAY ON MARCH 5th.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS WON EVERY PRIMARY SO FAR.

>> I HAVE NEVER TAKEN THE EASY ROUTE.

I HAVE BEEN THE UNDERDOG IN ANY RACE THAT I HAVE RUN.

>> SHE MADE HER CASE FOR STAYING IN THE RACE ON TUESDAY.

POINT INTO A NUMBER OF FACTORS.

HER VIEW THAT SOME POLITICIANS THAT EMBRACE HIM PUBLICLY DREAD HIM PRIVATELY.

>> THEY KNOW WHAT DISASTER HE HAS BEEN.

THEY ARE TOO AFRAID TO SAY IT OUT LOUD.

I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY THE HARD TRUTHS OUT LOUD.

I FEEL NO NEED.

>> TRUMP HAS A SIGNIFICANT LEAD IN THE PALMETTO STATES.

65% OF LIKELY VOTERS WILL SUPPORT THE FORMER PRESIDENT.

34% SAID THEY WILL SUPPORT HALEY.

BOOSTING THE ALREADY CONFIDENT CAMPAIGN AHEAD OF SATURDAY'S PRIMARY.

>> EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOSE YOUR HOMESTAY.

KPBS REPORTERS TELL US ABOUT THE PRIMARY WHERE THE INCUMBENT FACES A REPUBLICAN WITH A MILITARY BACKGROUND.

>> HEAVILY LATINO AND HEAVILY DEMOCRATIC.

REPUBLICANS ARE ONLY 21% ACCORDING TO THE LATEST STATS FROM THE CALIFORNIA SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE.

DAVID ALVAREZ, A FORMER SAN DIEGO MEMBER.

HE HAS SPONSORED BILLS TO MAKE IT EASIER TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WE NEED TO PAVE THE WAY TO AFFORDABILITY IN ALL COMMUNITIES.

>> PROPOSALS TO MAKE SURE THAT HOUSING IS BUILT EVERYWHERE.

THERE ARE ROADBLOCKS THAT CITIES OFTEN PUT UP BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO ALLOW THINGS LIKE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THEIR HOME CITIES.

THEY WILL NO LONGER BE IMPEDIMENTS TO THE BUILDING COUNCIL.

WE NEED TO FUND PROGRAMS FOR SUBSIDIZED HOUSING.

>> THE CHALLENGER, MICHAEL WILLIAMS SPENT MOST OF HIS CAREER IN THE NAVY WORKING IN INTELLIGENCE.

THE PRIVATE SECTOR NEEDS TO BE GIVEN MORE FREEDOM TO RESPOND FOR HOUSING.

NOT EVERYONE WILL CHOOSE TO LIVE IN PRICEY SAN DIEGO.

HOMEBUILDERS WILL FILL MANY OF THE GAPS IN OUR SUPPLY.

>> MAYBE THEY ARE USING CONTAINERS STACKED ON EACH OTHER AS WE HAVE SEEN IN OTHER CITIES.

MAYBE TINY HOMES THAT ARE BEING SOLD AS A FUTURE SOLUTION TO THE HOUSING SHORTAGE.

ALL OF THOSE ARE OPTIONS FOR HOUSING PEOPLE.

>> CHECK OUT THE VOTER HUB ON KPBS.ORG.

>>> KPBS GATHERED 15 COMMUNITY LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE SOUTH BAY SAN DIEGO LIBRARY.

WHAT IS TOP OF MIND AS THE ELECTION APPROACHES.

>> EVERYONE IN THE ROOM AGREES THAT THEY KNEW THAT THE FLOODS WOULD HAPPEN.

THEY RECORDED THE STORM DRAINS FOR DECADES AND WERE IGNORED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

THE LATINO COMMUNITY BEARS NEGLECT IN SILENCE.

WITH THE WATERS ROSE AND ANGER THAT SHE RARELY SEES.

>> I AM HAPPY BECAUSE WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT AFFECTS YOU, THAT IS HOW YOU GET INVOLVED.

>> SHE HOPES THAT ANGER WILL DRIVE PEOPLE TO THE POLLS.

THOSE MOST AFFECTED, LOW-INCOME PEOPLE OF COLOR, FACE ADDED BARRIERS TO VOTING.

THEY OFTEN DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEMS HEARING DON'T KNOW WHO TO HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED OR HOW.

JoANNE FIELDS SAYS THAT FOR MANY, INCLUDING FILIPINO AND VIETNAMESE RESIDENTS, MOST PUBLIC INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THEIR PRIMARY LANGUAGE.

CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO 12% OF THE COUNTRIES POPULATION.

MEETING UP WITH THE LOS ANGELES MAYOR TO DISCUSS HER EFFORT TO BRING THOSE THAT ARE UNHOUSED OFF OF THE STREETS.

>> THIS IS THE SOUND OF SOMEONE'S ENTIRE LIFE BEING THROWN IN THE TRASH.

IN THE MIDDLE OF RECENT RECORD BREAKING RAIN, THEY ARE CLEARING THE ENCAMPMENT FOR UNHOUSED PEOPLE.

THIS IS PART OF THAT FIX.

>> THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I RAN FOR MAYOR.

MAYOR BASS TRIED TO SEE THE CLEANUP FIRSTHAND.

GETTING MANY ONTO BUSES.

THEY LEAVE BEHIND ANYTHING THEY CANNOT CARRY.

>> THIS IS A GODSEND RIGHT NOW, NOT BEING AROUND THIS RIGHT NOW.

>> THE PLAN TO TEAR DOWN THESE ENCAMPMENTS AND BRING THE UNHOUSED INDOORS.

>> WHEN I SPOKE TO YOU ABOUT A YEAR AGO, YOU TALKED ABOUT YOUR GOAL FOR HOMELESSNESS AND THE END OF HOMELESSNESS BY THE END OF YOUR FIRST TERM.

>> WE DESTROYED THE MYTH THAT PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE TENTS AND CARS AND RVs.

WE HAVE HAD THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM.

WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE WILLING TO LEAVE THEN WE HAVE ROOM FOR.

>> THE REMARKABLE NEW STUDY, RESEARCHERS SURVEYED THOUSANDS OF THE HOMELESS IN CALIFORNIA.

90% OF PARTICIPANTS SAID THAT HIGH HOUSING COSTS FOR A BARRIER TO MOVING INTO PERMANENT HOUSING.

THE MAJORITY SAID THAT THEY DID WANT TO GET OFF THE STREETS.

>> THOSE ON THE STREETS I DON'T WANT TO BE HOUSE.

>> MAJOR FACTORS ARE HIGH RENTS AND LOW INCOME.

OF COURSE, THERE IS DISCRIMINATION AND BAD CREDIT.

SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN HAVE I.D.

SOME OF BEEN EVICTED BEFORE.

MANY ARE DEALING WITH ADDICTION OR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS.

>> AFFORDABILITY IS THE ISSUE.

THE SHREDDING OF THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET HAS RESULTED IN A SITUATION THAT WE HAVE HERE.

WE HAVE TO REPAIR THAT WHILE WE REPAIR THE HUMAN BEINGS THAT SUFFER BECAUSE OF IT.

>> THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WENT UP 12% IN 2023.

IN PART BECAUSE COVID PROGRAMS PREVENTING EVICTIONS CAME TO AN END.

A QUARTER OF THOSE PEOPLE WERE UNHOUSED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR LIVES.

>> HOW MANY PEOPLE FELL INTO HOMELESSNESS BEFORE COVID?

>> THERE WERE PROBABLY 20 OR 30,000 PEOPLE.

NOW IT IS 46,000.

WE DO NOT WANT TO HURT AND STEAL FROM YOU.

IF YOU SEE A PERSON DOWN, BRING THEM A BOTTLE OF WATER, BLANKET, SOMETHING TO MAKE AND SAVE THEIR LIFE.

>> IS HOUSES IN THIS FORM ARE SHIPPING CONTAINER USED TO BUILD HOUSING QUICKLY.

MORE THAN 2000 PEOPLE HAVE MOVED INTO INTERIM HOUSING.

329 HAVE MOVED INTO PERMANENT HOUSING.

THIS HAS COST L.A. $65 MILLION.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SPENT 125 MILLION ON INCIDENTS INVOLVING UNHOUSED PEOPLE LAST YEAR.

>> THERE IS A MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT HOMELESSNESS IN THIS COUNTRY.

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IT IS PEOPLE WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS FOR PEOPLE WITH ADDICTION.

>> WE HAVE ABOUT 9000 CHILDREN THAT ARE HOMELESS IN LOS ANGELES.

SOME OF THEM ARE IN AND OUT OF SCHOOL, SOME OF THEM ATTEND SCHOOL, MANY ARE LIVING IN CARS AND RVs.

THE FACT IS THAT SENIOR CITIZENS AND PEOPLE IN THEIR 60s AND 70s, THEY ARE PRICED OUT OF THE MARKET AND THEY WIND UP UNHOUSED.

>> CALIFORNIA IS TRYING TO TACKLE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

TO PUSH THOSE OFF THE STREETS INTO TREATMENT.

>> I DON'T THINK IT'S OKAY TO BE MENTALLY ILL AND WALKING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC AND BE ALLOWED TO BE THERE.

I THINK SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NEED TO BE HOSPITALIZED AGAINST THEIR WILL.

IT IS INHUMANE TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO DIE ON THE STREETS.

>> GET PEOPLE OUT OF TENTS, OFF THE STREET, INTO THESE CONTAINERS.

>> SHORT-TERM IS A YEAR AND A HALF.

I SAY THAT BECAUSE IT TAKES A WHILE TO BUILD HOUSING.

THE POLICY HAD BEEN FOR YOU TO STAY ON THE STREET WHILE WE BUILD SOMETHING.

THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?

PUTTING SOMEONE IN A HOUSE IS NOT ENOUGH.

THERE NEEDS TO BE HEALTHCARE AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICE SUPPORT.

THEN THEY NEED TO GO INTO PERMANENT HOUSING.
