SAN DIEGO — A local mom says it has been a constant struggle to afford a place to live, even with a full-time job.“The rent is too high, it's just too much,” Margo Velez said.Velez and her daughters first got a glimpse of the unsheltered life years ago when the place they were renting forced them out due to renovations.“The shelters weren’t very pleasant,' Velez said.
'We had no traumas, no domestic violence issues, no teen pregnancies...They didn’t have anything for regular people like myself that have not suffered or endured anything traumatic,” she said.Velez isn’t alone. Shelby Thomas with the San Diego Housing Federation says many families simply can’t afford a place to live.“We are seeing more individuals who are just one paycheck or an emergency way from experiencing housing insecurity or potentially homelessness,' Thomas said.
