Several cities have recently announced they’ve put an effective end to veteran homelessness in keeping with federal goals set by the Obama administration.

San Diego didn’t meet the challenge.

“Right now we’re leaving too much money on the table and too many veterans on the street to continue in the way that we have been,” said City Councilman Todd Gloria, who leads the regional group that coordinates efforts and funding for programs meant to fight homelessness.
