2. A new Homelessness Hub is coming to UCSD. The data hub will be nonpartisan, focusing on research, education, policy, and action. According to Mirle Rabinowitz Bussell, UCSD professor and director of undergraduate studies in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, "Now, through the Homelessness Hub at UC San Diego, we have the opportunity to collaborate with nonprofit leaders and elected officials to make decisions that move us toward the goal of eliminating homelessness."

3. COVID-19 cases are rising but San Diegans still want to have fun. They have missed parties and proms, barbecues and pool parties. Now, they want to spend time with friends and family and enjoy life even though COVID-19 is lurking. Maybe it is time to mask up — just in case.
