We’re proud of our highly respected LEA advocate, Matthew Kearny, who recently spoke with local news about the new changes to Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) that threaten to displace people who are legally waiting for their citizenship.

Matthew shared how these changes would deeply impact not just our community, but also his own family — including his wife, who is still waiting for her citizenship.

“My wife is my soulmate and without permanent supportive housing, I'd be dead” – Matthew Kearny

Policies like this don’t solve the housing crisis — they risk making it worse by forcing more people into homelessness.

We stand with Matthew and every family fighting to stay housed while they navigate the immigration process.

We’re so proud of our own Rachel, one of our incredible Lived Experience Experts, who was featured on [Local News Station] sharing the story behind San Diego’s recent downtown homeless count decline.

Rachel reminded the community that fewer people downtown doesn’t mean homelessness is solved. Many neighbors are simply being pushed into canyons and riverbeds, making them harder to reach with life-saving outreach, services, and support.

👉 Their insight is a powerful reminder: every person counts — no matter where they sleep.

Thank you, Rachel, and all our lived experience experts, for speaking truth to power and guiding us toward real, lasting solutions to homelessness.
