The San Diego Board of Supervisors today declared homelessness a public health emergency. While the move won’t release additional funds to address homelessness, it will allow the county to focus resources on the health issues plaguing unhoused individuals. Plus, an update on the fight over a San Diego County program that gives motel vouchers to unhoused people seeking shelter in El Cajon. Then, a new investigation from inewsource found that Imperial County’s use of psychiatric holds may be more than just inadequate - in many cases it may be illegal. Also, 20 states have mandatory kindergarten, why California won’t be one of them, for now. Then, last week the city of San Diego apologized for supporting the removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans by rescinding a 1942 resolution. The daughter of two San Diegans who imprisoned in an internment camp in Arizona talks about what the apology means to her. And finally, "The Little Book of Joy" is a new children's book by two of the most significant spiritual leaders of the last century, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu with illustrations by San Diego artist and muralist Rafael López.
