Hello, La Mesa!
La Mesa Mayor Mark Arapostathis joined other mayors and civic leaders from across San Diego County this week to coordinate regional responses to homelessness.
The fourth annual symposium at the San Diego Rescue Mission brought together representatives from all 18 cities in the county and saw leaders signing a declaration to renew their commitment to a regional strategy.
The meeting focused on sharing best practices, identifying service gaps and exploring opportunities for collaboration. “This symposium demonstrates what’s possible when we treat homelessness as the regional crisis it truly is,” said Donnie Dee, president and CEO of San Diego Rescue Mission.
In his most recent State of the City address, Arapostathis touted the efforts of the Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement team, which responded to more than 1,130 calls for service and helped about 130 people in 2024.
