State of Homeless -San Diego Miramar College
On September 4, 2024, a panel was assembled at Miramar College, located at 10440 Black Mountain Road, to discuss ways to help the homeless. The panel included Executive Pastor and Homeless Outreach Director of the Church of Salvation Shane O’Garro. The pastor led the discussion about housing and mental health. He was accompanied by the County Supervisor of District 3 Terra Lawson Reemer, City Council Member Kent Lee, event facilitator Raja Deva, and Mira Mesa City Council President Bari Vaz. The team discussed society’s responsibility to prevent homelessness and treat mental healthcare issues. Kent discussed “safety and homelessness” while Terra addressed “blueprints for affordable housing constructions for seniors and the homeless.” The homeless population includes but is not limited to US veterans, the elderly, the unemployed or underemployed, and the disabled. The panel’s goal was to create a real vision of security for the Lord’s children. The discussion included various community members who want to end homelessness.
