​Dear San Diego County Board of Supervisors,

We support sustaining funding for the Innovative Adult Housing Services and Enhanced Housing Services programs, as well as the Immigrant Rights Legal Defense Program, which are crucial for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ individuals in San Diego County.

The Innovative Adult Housing Services and Enhanced Housing Services programs have been immensely successful in providing stable housing and wrap-around services to LGBTQIA+ individuals, preventing homelessness and improving quality of life. The data shows that these programs have nearly tripled their client goals, demonstrating their effectiveness and efficiency.

Additionally, the Immigrant Rights Legal Defense Program is vital for supporting LGBTQIA+ immigrants who face unique challenges and discrimination. Sustaining funding for this program will ensure that these individuals receive the legal support they need to live safely and with dignity.

We urge you to prioritize the continuation of funding for these essential programs in the upcoming budget. Your support will make a significant difference in the lives of many vulnerable individuals in our community.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
