SAN DIEGO — Just 15 days after historic rain and flooding devastated several communities of southeast San Diego, members of the San Diego City Council are apologizing for the slow response and thanking those who stepped up to help.
“What we were not nearly as prepared for was to support the human needs that popped up after the flooding happened,” said Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera.
The Harvey Family Foundation is just one of 15 non-profits that jumped into action following the floods in the hardest hit areas.
“Our team did an intake of over 600 households to assess immediate needs of families including donation needs, deliveries for those who lost their cars, urgent medical needs, clean up assistance, housing needs, mental health needs and food distribution.”
