League Advocates for Housing and Homelessness Solutions at Local City Councils
Published on 3/26/2026
In March, LWVNCSD President Marian Vega Clancy submitted support letters to two North County city councils on issues close to the League’s heart: housing and homelessness.
On March 25, the League wrote to the Encinitas City Council in support of a Memorandum of Understanding between the city and the San Diego Rescue Mission to provide rental assistance to unhoused individuals in the community. The agreement addresses delays in move-in funding and leverages opioid settlement funds to help get people housed more quickly—a smart and compassionate use of available resources.
That same day, the League wrote to the Solana Beach City Council supporting a resolution to develop a priority processing program and temporary deferral of development impact fees for extremely low-income housing, special needs housing, and deed-restricted accessory dwelling units. This action helps the city meet its 6th Cycle Housing Element commitments while making affordable housing more financially feasible to build.
Both letters reflect the League’s long-standing positions supporting programs that meet the basic needs of those experiencing homelessness and that expand the supply of safe, affordable housing for all Californians.
