San Diego has approved more than $4 million in state funding to help the city's homeless population move into stable housing, KGTV reports.
The unsheltered are not lost causes, says Michelle LeFever, a rep for the nonprofit NAMI San Diego.
"They just need someone to spend enough time, energy, and compassion to get them back to where they used to be."
On Monday, the nonprofit was awarded a $4.4 million contract in state grant funding from the city to work on its program helping people placed into housing from encampments stay there.
"That's where stabilization begins," says a city rep.
"They're being successful because they're choosing when they're doing."
The city said the latest round of funding will support at least 131 people in programs along the I-15 corridor and the San Diego River.
