Here are three of the top stories today in San Diego:

1. The organization's purpose is to aid veterans in need of transitional🏘️housing and other services. The group, Warrior Foundation Freedom Station, has now purchased a property in San Diego. The South Park group calls it the ‘Freedom Station’ and said it is ‘a unique recovery transition center and housing facility that provides injured warriors with the acclimation time, guidance and resources to successfully make the transition from military service to civilian life.” The property consists of 12 cottage-style units and 10 garages.
