County officials plan to meet with community-based organizations, possibly next week, to get input on how to collaborate on services
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 Tuesday to move forward with a plan for a long-term transfer center and respite shelter after securing federal funding to assist arriving migrants. The $19.6 million allocation comes from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Shelter and Services Program, or SSP, which provides funding to non-federal entities that provide humanitarian services to recently arrived migrants.
“But in the interim we don’t know if that’s actually going to happen or not,” she added. Aghassi recommended that in the meantime the county work on parallel tracks — continue to seek the funding up front but also put some county money toward moving plans forward that could later be replaced with the federal funds. On Tuesday the board authorized the county to do just that and to get some migrant services restarted.
