Community Economic Summit for a Better San Diego
Have you ever wondered what a better San Diego would look like? After years of bad economic policies that favor the wealthy, developers, and corporations at the expense of everyone else, we are ready to see a San Diego with a strong local economy that works for everyone, and a just and fair society that provides every San Diegan with the opportunity to create a better life for themselves and their families.
A coalition of community groups, labor unions, neighborhood leaders and activists have joined together to imagine a better San Diego and to start working to build it. On August 27, the Coalition for A Better San Diego will host a Community Economic Summit to identify, address, and take action on the economic issues facing our communities.
August 27 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Horace Mann Middle School 4345 54th Street, San Diego 92115. Check-in begins at 8 a.m. Lunch provided. Visit www.abettersandiego.org to learn more and register to attend.

County Invites Public to Meetings to Learn How to Apply for Federal Funds
The County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) will host 10 meetings throughout the region in September on applying for federal community development funds. Meeting dates and locations are attached.
The funds are provided through the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to benefit lower income residents of the unincorporated area with projects such as senior centers, parks, drainage improvements and health centers. HCD administers the funds, though the final allocation is not yet known due to federal budget negotiations.
