AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>> WITH LESS THAN A MONTH LEFT IN THE YEAR, A BOLD PLAN TO TACKLE HOMELESSNESS IS FAR FROM IT ALL.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I AM MAYA TRABULSI.

THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO CAME UP WITH A NOVEL IDEA TO SOLICIT SHELTER AND SAFETY NET PROGRAMS.

KPBS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER SCOTT SAYS THEY HAVE FALLEN FAR SHORT OF THEIR FUNDRAISING GOAL AND LITTLE MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT.

>> Reporter: THE MAYOR CHOSE HIS STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS IN JANUARY TO UNVEIL A BOLD >>.

>> TONIGHT I'M ANNOUNCING A PHILANTHROPIC CAMPAIGN TO HELP THE CITY CARRY OUT OUR AMBITIOUS PLANS TO END THE HOMELESSNESS CRISIS AND HELP SAN DIEGO ENDS TOGETHER TACKLING HOPELESSNESS.

THE CAMPAIGN HAS ALREADY COMMITTED TO A QUARTER OF $1 MILLION.

>> THEY AIMED TO RAISE $370 MILLION IN DONATIONS THIS YEAR.

PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESS AND AVERAGE RESIDENCE.

THE MONEY WOULD GO TOWARDS PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS, EXPANDING SHELTERS AND BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING HIGH-RISE DOWNTOWN.

BUT SAN DIEGO TOGETHER TACKLING HOMELESSNESS HAS SO FAR JUST RAISED OVER $1 MILLION.

A FRACTION OF THE TARGET OF THE YEAR.

THEY SPENT A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS IN T-SHIRTS AND VOLUNTEERS FOR EVENTS.

THEY ARE NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE INITIATIVE.

>> IT IS A WORTHY ASPIRATION.

NOT TERRIBLY PRACTICAL.

PROBABLY NOT TREE.

>> Reporter: RICK GENTRY IS FORMER CEO OF THE SAN DIEGO HOUSING COMMISSION.

THE PUBLIC AGENCY WORKS TO EXPAND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS.

>> THERE'S A GREAT NEED FOR PLANNING, COORDINATION, FOCUS, AND PARTNERSHIP.

MAYBE STARTING WITH THE LATTER FIRST.

YOU SET A GOAL AND PEOPLE FOLLOW YOU.

>> Reporter: SO FAR, THE CITY HAS NOT FOLLOWED THROUGH ON KEY COMMITMENTS READ A 10 MEMBER ADVISORY BOARD THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP RUN THE INITIATIVE IS ONLY HALF BUILT AND IS YET TO HOLD A MEETING.

THE CITY ALSO SAID IT WOULD POST UPDATES ONLINE ABOUT THE INITIATIVES FUNDRAISING AND SPENDING, BUT THE INFORMATION IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

>> THERE IS A REAL ISSUE WITH THAT LACK OF TRANSPARENCY.

>> Reporter: JESSE SCHMIDT HE IS THE POLICY MANAGER WITH ALLIANCE SAN DIEGO.

HE IS SKEPTICAL OF THE CITY'S PLAN AND SAYS NONPROFITS AND CITY RESIDENTS ALREADY DO A LOT OF WORK IN THIS SPACE.

HE ARGUES THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SHOULDER MORE OF THE BURDEN.

>> THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH AND ADDRESSED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

>> Reporter: THE MAYOR DECLINED MULTIPLE INTERVIEW REQUESTS.

THERE IS SPOKESPERSON, THEY ARE OVERSEEING THE INITIATIVE TO THE CITY.

HE DOWNPLAYED THE CRITICISMS.

>> I DON'T CONSIDER IT FALLING SHORT.

I CONSIDER IT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO GET ON THE BANDWAGON.

THERE IS NO TIMEFRAME, THERE IS NO DEADLINE.

THIS IS JUST US AS A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER, ASKING OURSELVES WHAT CAN WE DO WITH WHAT WE HAVE?

>> Reporter: THAT SAID, HE INITIALLY HELPED MORE PEOPLE WOULD DONATE TO SAN DIEGANS TOGETHER TACKLING HOMELESSNESS.

>> YOU WOULD BE AMAZED HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THE CITY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING.

>> THE INITIATIVE IS FINDING PREVENTION EFFORTS AND ASSISTANT COLLEGE STUDENTS FACING HOUSING INSTABILITY BUT IT HAS MADE ONLY ONE EXPENDITURE TO DATE.

PURCHASING T-SHIRTS FOR A VOLUNTEER CLEANUP EVENT DOWNTOWN.

>> TRYING TO GET VOLUNTEERS TO COME AND BE DOWNTOWN AND UNDERSTAND WHERE A LOT OF TRASH IS COMING FROM, FROM THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY.

THAT'S A SMALL EFFORT.

NOT ANYTHING MAJOR.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS THE CITY STILL STANDS BEHIND THE INITIATIVE DESPITE THE LIMITED IMPACT.

BUT YOU OFFER A MORE MODERATE MEASURE OF SUCCESS THAN THE ORIGINAL GOAL OF RESOLVING HOMELESSNESS.

>> IF WE ARE ABLE TO ASSIST ONE PERSON, THE INITIATIVE IS A SUCCESS.

>> Reporter: SO THE CITY WILL CONTINUE THE DONATION-BASED EFFORT TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS.

SHOULD IT?

>> NO.

I DON'T THINK THIS SOUNDS LIKE A VERY SUCCESSFUL INITIATIVE.

>> JENNIFER LESLIE IS PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, STUDYING THE INTERSECTION OF NONPROFITS, PHILANTHROPY, GOVERNMENT AND HOMELESSNESS.

SHE SAYS THE CITY MISJUDGED HOW PHILANTHROPY WORKS AND THAT IT HAS NOT DONE ENOUGH TO INSPIRE CONFIDENCE IN POTENTIAL DONORS.

>> I THINK THE PROOF IS ALREADY THERE IN TERMS OF THE LOW AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY HAVE RAISED AND GIVEN OUT THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE BUILT ANY INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND IT.

>> SHE SAYS THE CITY SHOULD FOCUS EFFORTS INSTEAD ON SUPPORTING ESTABLISHED CHARITIES AND WORKING MORE CLOSELY WITH THE REGIONAL TASK FORCE ON HOMELESSNESS.

SCOTT ROHDE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> ONCE AGAIN TONIGHT WE ARE GOING DOWN TO ABOUT 50 DEGREES.

WE WILL SEE THE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

WE BREAK DOWN WHAT TO EXPECT AS WE HEAD INTO MIDWEEK COMING UP.

>>> ESCONDIDO IS THE LATEST CITY TO CONSIDER SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

ALEXANDER McGLYNN SAYS IT'S NOT LIKE OTHERS IN THE COUNTY.

>> RIGHT NOW, ALL SHORT-TERM RENTALS ARE PERMITTED.

THEY SPENT 18 MONTHS SURVEYING BUSINESS AND RESIDENCE ABOUT OPERATING IT.

THE CITY IS MOVING FORWARD WITH A PILOT PROGRAM THAT WOULD CREATE A PERMITTING PROCESS FOR ELIMINATING SHORT-TERM RENTALS TO 2% OF THE AVAILABLE HOUSING STOCK.

IT WOULD COST APPLICANTS $500 FOR IMPROVEMENT INCLUDING A $231 INSPECTION FEE AND ANNUAL FEE.

>> THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE MEANS ALL OF THESE HOMES RIGHT HERE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE OPERATED AS SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

IT'S LISTED ON AIRBNB.

>> LISTED FOR NEARLY $500 FOR A WEEKEND.

THEY RECEIVED -- SAME RENTAL RATES ARE THINGS THAT OPERATORS LIKE HIM NEED.

>> THEY RELY ON THIS FOR THE LIFESAVING MEDICINE AT THE TAKE.

>> KEY AND ATTORNEY JEFF FERNANDEZ ARE CALLING ON THE CITY TO RETHINK THE BAN.

THEY SAY IF PASSED, IT WOULD BE THE ONLY CITY IN THE COUNTY TO BAN SDR BASED ON PROXIMITY TO A SCHOOL.

>> IT VIOLATES THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE OF OUR CONSTITUTION WHICH GUARANTEES LAWS APPLY FAIRLY TO ALL OF US.

AND THIS IS NOT JUST BAD POLICY.

IT'S ACTUALLY ILLEGAL AND WE ARE PREPARED TO PURSUE LEGAL CHALLENGE TO THIS ORDINANCE IF IT DOES, IN FACT PASS.

>> Reporter: IS AS THE BAND MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE I HOME WITH AND 450 FEET OF A SCHOOL WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE AS AN SDR BUT A HOUSE THAT IS NEXT ORCHID BECAUSE IT'S MORE THAN 500 FEET AWAY.

IF SAFETY WERE A CONCERN, MOTELS AND RV PARKS WOULD BE BANNED WITHIN 500 FEET OF A SCHOOL.

>> THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THIS WOULD HELP WITH ANYTHING.

NO EVIDENCE THAT STRS HAVE DONE ANYTHING ASIDE FROM ALLOW PEOPLE SAFE, SECURE COMMUNITY- BASED PLACE TO STAY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

>> Reporter: RIGHT NOW THERE ARE 20 SDR IS OPERATING WITHIN 500 FEET OF A SCHOOL IN ESCONDIDO.

KPBS CONTACTED THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE FOR AN EXPLANATION ON THE 500-FOOT FAN.

WE DID NOT GET A RESPONSE.

THE CITY ESTIMATES THE TAXES WOULD GENERATE $280,000 PER YEAR.

THE CITY COUNCIL WILL VOTE ON THE ISSUE AT THEIR MEETING TOMORROW.

ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE BATTLE AGAINST SAND EROSION ON THE OCEAN COASTLINE CONTINUES BUT COULD SOON SLOWDOWN.

A PROJECT DESIGNED BY AN AUSTRALIAN FIRM.

OUR KPBS REPORTER TELLS US WHEN AND WHERE THE PRODUCT WILL TAKE PLACE.

>> Reporter: THE MAJORITY OF THE COASTLINE IS IN NEED OF SAND.

WHEN IT CAME TO FIGURING OUT WHERE TO PILOT THE CITY'S, THE SAND RETENTION PROJECT STAFF HAD PLENTY OF OPTIONS.

>> WE TOOK THE MOST ERODED AREAS OF THE SHORELINE AND DIVIDED THEM INTO DIFFERENT SEGMENTS.

>> JANE KIMBERLY IS THE COASTAL ZONE ADMINISTRATOR.

SHE SAYS DIFFERENT DATA ANALYSIS AND OUTREACH HELP REACH A DECISION TO BEGIN AT TYSON STREET PARK.

>> FROM HERE, WE WILL EXTEND THE PROJECT TO WISCONSIN AVENUE.

BETWEEN WISCONSIN AVENUE AND TYSON STREET PARK, WE WILL BE DEVELOPING AN ARTIFICIAL WREATH OFFSHORE WITH THE TWO HAD LANDS SITUATED AT TYSON STREET AND WISCONSIN AVENUE.

>> Reporter: THE REDESIGN CAME FROM THE AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIONAL COASTAL MANAGEMENT TEAM.

>> THEY ACT LIKE HAD LANDS OR POINTS.

SO THOSE STRUCTURES WILL ACTUALLY WORK JUST LIKE A POINT IN RETAINING SOME OF THE SAND OUT TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED.

THEN THE ARTIFICIAL WREATH IS JUST LOOKING TO SLOW DOWN SOME OF THAT CURRENT THAT TAKES THE SAND OFF THE SHORELINE.

WE HAVE NONE OF THESE NATURAL FEATURES THAT HELP US RETAIN SAND IT NATURALLY.

>> THE DESIGN IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS A LIVING SPEED BUMPS CONCEPT.

IT'S ALREADY IMPLEMENTED ON AUSTRALIA'S GOLD COAST.

THEY HOPE IT WILL ALSO BE SUCCESSFUL IN OCEANSIDE.

>> WE WANT TO TEST IT AND MAKE SURE IT WORKS AND THAT IT IS MEETING ALL OF ITS PERFORMANCE GOALS.

THEN WE CAN START TO THINK ABOUT HOW TO REPLICATE IT AND DO IT IN OTHER LOCATIONS.

>> THERE WAS SOME PUSHBACK OVER THE PROJECT'S POTENTIAL IMPACT OVER THE ENVIRONMENT.

>> HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE SERVICE?

I SERVE HERE.

I DON'T WANT THIS TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE SURFACE AND I WALK THE BEACH.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TRANSIT THE BEACH.

>> Reporter: BOSTON IS PRESIDENT OF OCEANSIDE SAND.

IS IS THE NONPROFIT WILL EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY WHILE HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY IMPACTS THE PROJECT MAY HAVE.

>> WE SHOULD MODIFY THE DESIGNER WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO RESTORE THE SURF BACK TO WHERE IT IS.

>> Reporter: THE CITY WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE IMPACT ON THE SURF BY COLLECTING DATA BEFORE AND AFTER THE WREATH HAD LANDS ARE INSTALLED.

THE DESIGN WILL NEED TO BE REFINED, PERMANENT AND FUNDED.

CONSTRUCTION IS ESTIMATED TO START AT THE END OF 2026 OR EARLY 2027, AND COST $31 MILLION.

TANIA THORNE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ITS FORMER INTENDANT ARE BEING SUED.

A FORMER EMPLOYEE ALLEGES HE ROUTINELY SEXUALLY HARASSED HER AND SHE WAS DEMOTED FOR REFUSING HIS ADVANCES.

THE COMPLAINT COMES A FEW MONTHS AFTER HE WAS FIRED BY THE DISTRICT.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOUND CREDIBLE ACCOUNTS OF INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT LEADERS ARE CELEBRATING THE PASSAGE OF THREE LOCAL BOND MEASURES IN STATEWIDE CONSTRUCTION FUNDING.

BUT KPBS REPORTER SAYS IT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO MEET THE NEEDS.

>> THOUSANDS OF HOMES ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND KIDS WILL NEED SCHOOLS.

THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS EXPECTING 4000 NEW STUDENTS OVER THE NEXT DECADE.

>> WE ANTICIPATE THE NEED TO HAVE ONE, MINIMUM, MAYBE TWO SCHOOLS IN THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS.

>> IN NOVEMBER, VOTERS APPROVED NEARLY $150 MILLION OF BONDS FOR THE DISTRICT.

MOST OF IT WILL FUND IMPROVEMENTS TO SCHOOL SERVING THE AREA.

LOTS OF HOUSING IS BEING BUILT.

>> WE ALREADY SEE THE IMPACT OF THE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.

>> Reporter: THE REST WILL PAY FOR UPGRADES AND OF REPAIRS AT THE DISTRICT OF THE SCHOOLS.

FUNDING COMES FROM STATE AND LOCAL BONDS PASSED BY VOTERS.

THAT MAKES IT HARD TO PLAN VERY FAR INTO THE FUTURE.

>> THEY ARE DEPRECIATING EVERY YEAR.

THE WEAR AND TEAR OF BEING USED BY KIDS, THE ELEMENTS, THE SON.

IT'S A CONSTANT AND CERTAIN EXPENSE OF FUNDING THAT IS NOT GUARANTEED AND THAT'S FRUSTRATING.

>> THIS NOVEMBER, CALIFORNIA VOTERS PASSED PROP TO ALLOWING THE STATE TO BORROW MONEY TO REPAIR SCHOOLS.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE TO PAY FOR CONSTRUCTION COSTS BEFORE APPLYING FOR STATE MATCHING GRANTS.

MARILYN IS THE CHIEF BUSINESS OFFICER.

SHE SAYS THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR CONSTRUCTION COSTS BEFORE APPLYING FOR STATE FUNDS.

>> SO WE HAVE TO PRE-FUND THE PROJECT AND APPLY.

IT TAKES 8 TO 10 YEARS FOR A RESULT, FOR AN ANSWER FROM THE STATE.

>> FOR NOW, SHE SAYS PROJECT FUNDED BY LOCAL BONDS PASSED IN 2020 OR JUST GETTING STARTED AND WORK CONTINUES ON HOMES OF OTHER FUTURE STUDENTS.

KPBS NEWS.

>> FEW JOURNALISTS UNDERSTAND STEPHEN MILLER AND HIS AGENDA ALERT -- BETTER THAN JEAN GUERRERO.

SHE ALERTED HUNDREDS OF COLLEAGUES AND SCORDO VERSE DOCUMENTS -- KPBS REPORTER AND CURRENT CONTRIBUTING WRITER FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES.

>> HOW FAR BACK DO MILLER'S HARD RIGHT VIEWS GO, WHAT SHAPE THEM AND WHO WERE HIS MENTORS?

>> STEPHEN MILLER'S HARD RIGHT VIEWS GO AS FAR BACK AS HIGH SCHOOL, BASED ON MY REPORTING, INTERVIEWING HIS FRIENDS FROM BACK THEN, SOME OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS.

WHEN HE WAS ATTENDING SANTA MONICA HIGH SCHOOL, VERY DIVERSE HIGH SCHOOL IN WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS A LIBERAL CITY, SANTA MONICA, HE STARTED LISTENING TO RUSH LIMBAUGH.

HE BECAME A BIG FAN OF THE NRA IS WHEN LAPEER AND CRUCIALLY, HE MET TWO OLDER MEN WHO BEGAN MENTORS TO HIM.

ONE WAS LARRY ELDER, RIGHT-WING TALK SHOW HOST, WHO IS A BLACK MAN WHO HAS BEEN PREACHING FOR MANY DECADES THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE MORE RACIST THAN WHITE PEOPLE, CREATING THIS IDEA THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE REAL OPPRESSED GROUP IN SOCIETY.

STEPHEN MILLER STARTED LISTENING TO HIS RADIO SHOW.

LARRY ELDER STARTED TO INVITE HIM ONTO HIS SHOW TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HIS HIGH SCHOOL'S MULTICULTURAL CELEBRATIONS, CINCO DE MAYO FESTIVITIES.

THE FACT THAT MANY OF HIS PEERS WERE SPEAKING SPANISH.

I SPOKE TO CLASSMATES OF HIS WHO TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD GO UP TO LATINOS, IMMIGRANT CLASSMATES AND TELL THEM TO GO BACK TO THE COUNTRIES, TO SPEAK ENGLISH.

AND HE WAS REALLY SOMETHING OF AN ANTAGONIST BACK THEN.

>> FAST FORWARD TO TODAY.

HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE STEPHEN MILLER'S VISION FOR THE UNITED STATES, AND HOW MUCH OF THAT YOU THINK TRUMP WILL CARRY OUT?

>> SO HE IS ESSENTIALLY THE IDEOLOGICAL FORCE BEHIND TRUMP'S ANTI-IMMIGRANT POLICIES.

HE HAS CONSISTENTLY POST TRUMP TO BE FAR RIGHT ON IMMIGRATION ISSUES.

ON THINGS, FOR EXAMPLE, DREAMERS THAT TRUMP WAS ONCE SYMPATHETIC TO.

STEPHEN MILLER CONVINCED HIM TO NOT BECOME PASSIONATE IN REGARDS TO THIS POPULATION THAT HAD ONCE RECEIVED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.

STEPHEN MILLER WAS BEHIND THE FAMILY SEPARATION POLICY, WHICH ALSO LED TO A PUBLIC OUTCRY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM AND WAS ULTIMATELY HALTED BECAUSE IT WAS DEEMED SO CRUEL.

IN THE NEXT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, STEPHEN MILLER WILL ABSOLUTELY BE CONTINUING TO PURSUE ATTACKS ON IMMIGRATION THAT ARE NOT SOLELY LIMITED TO PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY, AND WHO HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES.

STEPHEN MILLER HAS, FOR A VERY LONG TIME, BEEN PASSIONATELY AGAINST ALL FORMS OF IMMIGRATION.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.

MILLER HAS EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR RESTRICTIONS ON LEGAL IMMIGRATION.

THE U.S. TECH INDUSTRY, AS YOU KNOW, RELIES HEAVILY AND HIGHLY SKILLED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

ELON MUSK CERTAINLY KNOWS THIS.

DO YOU EXPECT TENSIONS BETWEEN MUSK AND MILLER AND WHO MIGHT HAVE MORE INFLUENCE OVER TRUMP ON THIS ISSUE?

>> I DO ACTUALLY ANTICIPATE SOME TENSION IN THAT REGARD.

ELON MUSK, AS YOU KNOW, IS PURSUING GREATER ACCESS TO IMMIGRATION.

AND DEPRESSING WAGES FOR DOMESTIC WORKERS.

ONE OF TRUMP'S MOST TRUSTED ADVISORS.

HE HAS BEEN WITH TRUMP SINCE THE BEGINNING OF HIS ENTRY INTO POLITICS, AND TRUMP HAS HAD THE IMPRESSION THAT WHENEVER HE IS FOLLOWED, STEPHEN MILLER'S ADVICE, THINGS HAVE GONE WELL FOR HIM.

>> WHEN IT COMES TO MASS DEPORTATIONS, PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HERE LEGALLY, YOU HAVE A PERSONAL CONNECTION TO THIS TELL US ABOUT THAT?

>> YEAH.

I COME FROM AN IMMIGRANT FAMILY.

MY GRANDMOTHER, WHO IS NOW A U.S. CITIZEN.

INITIALLY, SHE CAME TO THE BORDER LIKE SO MANY OTHER IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE ULTIMATELY ABLE TO NATURALIZE.

BUT SHE CAME HERE ILLEGALLY AND INITIALLY.

AND I, LIKE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY, MILLIONS IN THIS COUNTRY, HAVE COME FROM A MIXED STATUS FAMILY THAT COULD BE VULNERABLE TO SEPARATION UNDER A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, BECAUSE THEY HAVE SAID THAT ABSOLUTELY NOBODY IS OFF THE TABLE.

WE'RE NOT ONLY GOING TO BE TARGETING PEOPLE WITH SERIOUS CRIMINAL RECORDS.

IN THE FIRST TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WERE VULNERABLE WERE NOT TARGETED.

THAT'S IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF SANCTUARY JURISDICTION, SANCTUARY LAWS AND PLACES LIKE CALIFORNIA, WHICH TRUMP HAS A PLAN TO ATTACK.

HE HAS SAID HE WILL CUT FUNDING TO SANCTUARY JURISDICTIONS, FIVE -- CUT FUNDING TO PLACES THAT REFUSE TO AGREE WITH MASS DEPORTATION.

THE GUARDRAILS, THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO KICK THEM DOWN.

>> THIS INTERVIEW AS PART OF OUR PUBLIC MATTERS INITIATIVE.

LEARN MORE AT KPBS.ORG/ PUBLIC MATTERS.

>>> ADVISORS AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS MET TODAY TO DISCUSS SOLUTIONS TO HOMELESSNESS.

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE FACING HOMELESSNESS ACROSS THE COUNTY.

THE REGIONAL TASK FORCE ON HOMELESSNESS AS IT SEES MORE PEOPLE IN NEED OF SHELTER EACH MONTH THAN IT CAN HOUSE.

THE TASK FORCE SAYS IT CAN HELP GET ALL EXPERTS IN ONE ROOM TO DISCUSS WHAT HAS WORKED AND WHAT HASN'T.

>> REALLY GREAT ONES THAT WE ARE WORKING ON.

THEY DID AN INCREDIBLE STUDY THAT WE BROUGHT TOGETHER WITH OUR CONTINUUM OF CARE THAT HAS CREATED WHAT IS KNOWN AS SUBSIDIES FOR THE SENIOR POPULATION THAT BOTH THE COUNTY AND CITY HAVE BEEN PILOTING STARTING HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

RESIDENTS SAY THEY ARE GLAD CHANGES ARE BEING MADE WITHOUT TAKING AWAY WHAT MAKES THE EVENT SO SPECIAL.

>> IN THE PAST, WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH VENDORS SETTING UP ON CORNERS WHICH WOULD NOT BE A BIG DEAL BUT THEY IMPEDE TRAFFIC.

SIDEWALK TRAFFIC OR STREET TRAFFIC.

PEOPLE GROUPING AROUND, WANTING TO GET THEIRS.

IT CREATES A BOTTLENECK.

>> THEY WILL STILL BE ALLOWED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT THEY HAVE TO REMAIN MOBILE.

STARLET CIRCLE IS NOT SANCTIONED BY THE CITY.
