SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â Alpha Project CEO Bob McElroy says he and others in the downtown San Diego community are seeing more people than ever on the streets.
What they re witnessing is echoed in the latest report from the Regional Task Force on the Homeless, which said the number of newly homeless almost doubled in 2020.
McElroy thinks a major contributor is addiction. Just the rampant drug and alcohol use down there is just skyrocketing. I drive the streets, I walk the streets every day, McElroy said.
