REGION — Homelessness is considered a crisis in San Diego County, but it extends far into the county’s communities — particularly among college students. Many colleges lack the tools to capture exactly how many of their students are currently homeless or displaced and facing housing instability. MiraCosta is one of those colleges, according to former student Heather Sorgine. “Without this data, we are unable to understand the scope of the issue,” Sorgine wrote in her final recommendation to the college from her social justice research fellowship. “Unaddressed, these students will continue to suffer, unaided, and the school administration will continue to believe students are being adequately served by existing programs.” Sorgine said she was one of a few select students with the purpose of “reTURN TO HOMELESS ON A8

State Housing Element law requires cities to provide sufficient housing to
meet the needs of all its residents, from very-low income earners to above-moderate ones. Encinitas remains the only city in San Diego County lacking a state-certified plan and is under a court order to enact one by April 11. Superior Court Judge Ronald Frazier already overturned Proposition A for the current housing cycle, 2013 to 2021, after two successive attempts in 2016
and 2018 to pass a Housing Element failed at the ballot box and landed Encinitas back in court. While Frazier found the people’s right to vote an impediment to Encinitas’ current ability to meet state housing targets, he held off on applying that ruling to the future. California’s housing
