The Mid-City Communities Plan Update (CPU) encompasses the neighborhoods of City Heights, Kensington-Talmadge, and Normal Heights. It serves as a long-term vision for land use, mobility, urban design, public facilities, and services.

Thank you to St. Paul's Senior Services for the wonderful opportunity earlier this month to share with their community members about the Coordinated Evictions Prevention System (CEPS) Program. 

Let’s celebrate a housing justice win!

We teamed up with the Legal Aid Society of San Diego on Monday, April 4th to present in favor of the City of San Diego No Fault Eviction Moratorium.

With many San Diegans still out of work and struggling under the pandemic, we're thrilled announce the new Housing Help San Diego, a one-stop hub made to help renters and landlords alike understand their rights and the resources available to help prevent evictions and homelessness.

Within the next month, the ‘Sally Wong’ building on 41st and University Avenue will be demolished to make room for new affordable housing.
