Locally, this means MayorToddGloria will not seek the chairmanship at the San Diego Association of Governments ( sandag).
He has endorsed San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas for the role to succeed Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear, who was elected to the state Senate in November."California's cities face daunting challenges, and I'm humbled by the trust my colleagues in the Big City Mayors coalition have placed in me to lead them," Gloria said.
"Cities are the engines that run this great state, and I'm committed to working with federal and state leaders to leverage our voice to get results on homelessness, housing costs and mental health for all Californians," he said. The bipartisan coalition secured dedicated funding in the last few years to address homelessness in the state's big cities through California's Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention program.
According to Gloria, the group will continue to"strengthen HHAP's focus on accountability for the funding that goes to cities, counties and continuums of care, highlighting the successes cities are having with the funding and conveying the need for continued investment at the local level to help the state address its most critical challenge."
The Big City Mayors coalition also worked to secure federal pandemic relief and economic recovery funding for cities and pushed for the passage of SB 1338, the bill that carried Gov. Gavin Newsom's CARE Act — a reform of California's approach to mental health to help people struggling with mental illness access services.
