October 14, 2022 (El Cajon) – Supervisor Joel Anderson will host a forum open to the public on El Cajon homelessness on Saturday, October 22 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Grossmont College.  This forum will inform you of the impacts of homelessness in El Cajon and existing, collaborative efforts to address it. In addition, El Cajon’s leadership, including the Mayor, City Councilmembers, City Manager, and Police Chief, have been invited to discuss how the County can help address homelessness in El Cajon.

“Homelessness is a complex issue, but this issue can be tackled by working together to implement compassionate, yet effective, solutions to move people off the street instead of kicking them down the street,” Supervisor Anderson states.

Another possible housing concept

for homeless people (I already mentioned tiny homes) is to tap into the steel shipping containers that are piling up in US ports. I know a guy who lived in a container until he built a better place. The containers, each costing about two thousand dollars, would be tapped into water, sewage and electric lines (as in an RV park), on government property. . . .This alternative fits into the overall reality that there must be no new construction which would necessarily involve the bureaucratic new-construction foot-draggers with their building codes, choking off progress.
