Greetings -I am writing to inquire if there is still a San Diego County-funded program to provide vouchers for temporary housing in hotels/motels. If so, can you please provide me with a list of participating hotels/motels in San Diego proper, including everything west of La Mesa. Thank you
Hi Barbara, if you care to share more, can you email me at Southards.CALegion@gmail.com?

No! This VSSR program at the Century Villages at Cabrillo in Long Beach, CA has no accountability, no responsibility. Won’t reveal any accounting so no way if knowing if funds were actually used to host a lunch for entire non-Veteran community lunch and to purchase shirts for staff. VSSR staff mocks Veterans, uses our precious handicapped parking spots, act with impunity.
Impossible to determine who’s in charge.
Please make this documentary available on dvd format to be purchased and distributed to those of us interested in the truth. The truth lives when it is held in many places, the first truth being the same as the last truth. Long have I wanted to make an accurate count of the human cost of this comflict, dead, injured, and those that the fog of War finally caught up to and claimed. Not by trusting Government records but by using local veterans groups to go and talk to those with vacant chairs at the table, those whose cemetery plots are filled with “silent soldiers’, stones that speak of those who are “gone to soon” Only then will we be able to trust the results. Also audit Pentagon expenditures from 1962 thru 1980 for vendors. We should know who profited from all this carnage.
Yes, my understanding is the tax bill in in two parts of the fiscal year; part 1: July 01, 2026 to December 31, 2026 and part 2: January 01, 2027 to June 30, 2026 and that the new law (SB296) will take affect on January 01, 2027. Also, this is base on income, what is considered low, below a certain amount, and the high income; the lower income would be at 100% exemption while the higher would be at the 50% exemption, which is not as good as the standard existing today.
I was thinking that the exemption should take effect January 1, 2027. They said since the current tax bill is from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 it won’t apply until the July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2028 tax bill.

Does the SB 296 include the Disability income received through the VA?
Yes, my understanding is the tax bill in in two parts of the fiscal year; part 1: July 01, 2026 to December 31, 2026 and part 2: January 01, 2027 to June 30, 2026 and that the new law (SB296) will take affect on January 01, 2027.

This is very good news, Rikki! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Riverside may have their info wrong. This bill doesn’t take effect until 2027 and runs through 2032 (unless it’s extended).
