When life-threatening flooding impacted San Diego County in January 2024, many families had their lives upended as the floods destroyed their residences and displaced them from their homes. The floods, which impacted Southeast San Diego particularly hard, displaced over 1,200 households and caused over $30 million in damage. In response, United Way of San Diego County (UWSD) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) have partnered together to provide $180,000 in support to two nonprofit organizations helping Southeast San Diego residents affected by this disaster rebuild their homes. The Harvey Family Foundation and the San Diego Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) each received $90,000 to assist with housing repairs, housing restoration, the provision of materials and appliances, and more. SDG&E and UWSD are dedicated to standing by community members, providing support during these trying times, and ensuring the recovery process is as smooth as possible. Through this partnership, we are helping to address some of our communities’ most pressing needs to ensure no San Diegans get left behind.
