The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 4–0—with Supervisor Jim Desmond absent—Dec. 13 to eliminate its zero-tolerance policy against those engaging in illegal drug activity in taxpayer-funded housing.
Doing so supports the county’s vision of a “just, sustainable, and resilient future for all, specifically those communities in San Diego County that have been historically underserved” by accepting applicants for housing, regardless of possible drug involvement—officials said.
