The total recommended budget is 1.1% smaller than the budget that the County Board of Supervisors approved last year, mainly because many one-time costs for COVID-19 response are no longer needed.
San Diego County released its recommended $7.15 billion budget today, with significant investments in mental health, homelessness, equity, racial justice and climate change.
The supervisors must approve a new budget by June 30. The board will get an overview of the budget during presentations by county departments at public meetings May 19 and 20. The public can comment in person or by phone at two budget hearings in June: a daytime hearing June 13, and an evening session June 16. People can also comment online through e-comment until budget hearings close.
Increased investments in the new recommended budget include $11.9 million from one-time stimulus funds to develop affordable housing to reduce homelessness. Another $10 million increase is slated for partnerships with cities to buy shelters and places for people to stay.
