Local leader says the region faces 'significant, unanticipated losses' that threaten critical projects
San Diego County could be stuck paying out tens of millions of dollars for housing homeless people during the pandemic, a bill many leaders thought would be covered, after the federal government said it's limiting reimbursements. That could strain a budget already absorbing unexpected costs from January's historic storm. Local officials believe they'll have to make up for $24 million to $28 million, according to spokesperson Tim McClain.
official said the agency would only pay for the first 20 days participants spent in hotels after June 11, 2021, the day Gov. Gavin Newsom ended California's stay-at-home order. That could leave the state on the hook for more than $300 million, according to the members of Congress, including San Diego Reps. Sara Jacobs, Mike Levin, Scott Peters and Juan Vargas.
