SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - San Diego’s homeless crisis is an ongoing concern but programs, nonprofits, and schools are working to make sure people find shelter. When students arrive at Monarch School, there’s no telling what they might need. The staff is prepared. “We have four showers on campus. We open at 6 a.m., we have breakfast…we have a clothing boutique,” said CEO Erin Spiewak. Everything a child needs to prepare for the day is available because students don’t have a place to call home. “They're either living in a hotel or motel in one of our downtown shelters they're in a car or on the street.” Roughly 23,000 school-age children in San Diego County are homeless, according to Spiewak. Monarch serves about 300 of them. “The one thing that becomes stable for them is Monarch School; coming to the same school everyday, seeing the same friends, seeing the same staff becomes a ritual and a habit where they now have an environment where they feel safe and secure,” said Spiewak. In addition to meeting students’ physical needs, the school also to address students’ emotional well-being by providing therapists on and off site. The ultimate goal is making sure students get a quality education. “We know that the lack of a high school diploma is a big indicator of adult homelessness,” Spiewak said. “We have numbers between 70 to 90 percent of our students are graduating, so we know that with this population our success in getting them to that finish line is imperative to ensure they're not becoming homeless adults.” Homeless adults draw the attention of San Diego City Council member Chris Ward, the chair of the Regional Task Force on the Homeless. Ward says one of the most effective ways of helping people is through programs that intervene before they end up on the streets. “It’s far more cost effective to help people stay housed rather than have them fall in and have their own individual circumstances become more complex,” Ward said. While bridge shelters like the large tents downtown have proven effective in getting a roof over peoples’ heads quickly, Ward says the ultimate solution is simply more affordable housing. “We have to work on the permanent solutions. Housing construction and new development takes a long time. We have to find new resources to fund that and make that happen,” Ward said. Ward wants voters to approve a housing bond to fund more projects. “We’ve done all of our homework; we know what the needs are and if we all agree this is the way to move forward, hopefully we'll have more to work with in the years ahead,” said Ward. When it comes time to build more housing, nonprofits turn to another nonprofit: Home Aid. The group builds or renovates facilities at below-market rate. In Escondido, Home Aid partnered with Interfaith Community Services on a facility for veterans who have been discharged from the hospital and have nowhere to go. Since 2002, Home Aid has completed 26 projects around the county and has dozens more in the works. 2996

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- San Diego resident Jenifer Raub describes herself as a fighter.“I just don’t give up. If I see a window, just a little crack in the doorway of opportunity, I’m going to jump on it," said Raub.She never imagined to find herself in the fight against Parkinson's Disease, a progressive nervous system disorder which affects movement and has no cure.“For me, it was I had a hard time walking, but it was real intermittent, it just made no sense, and then my hands started to shake," said Raub.In the beginning, Raub refused to believe the diagnosis, eventually finding a doctor who told her what she wanted to hear."He told me I didn’t have the disease and he told me to go off all those medications you're fine. I did, and I couldn’t walk at all at that point.”So Raub shifted her fight towards finding a cure for Parkinson's.She's now president of the Summit for Stem Cell Foundation, a nonprofit created to support the use of stem cells to treat Parkinson’s; research underway in Dr. Jeanne Loring’s Torrey Pines lab. “We’re right on the edge of a revolution, in which these particular cells, because of their power and our ability to manipulate them, are going to change the way medicine is done," said Dr. Loring.Her research focuses on pluripotent stem cells, the remarkable cells that self-renew and can give rise to every cell type in the body.Parkinson’s Disease breaks down and eventually kills certain nerve cells in the brain, dopamine neurons that affect movement. Dr. Loring's team is working to transform patient's skin cells into pluripotent cells which can then become dopamine neurons. “We plan to transplant those cells to the brains of people with Parkinson’s to replace neurons they’ve lost," said Dr. Loring. Because the cells come from the actual patient, they are a perfect match which the body will not reject. After the implant, Dr. Loring says over time they'll make connections and restore circuits that have been broken by the loss of dopamine neurons. Patients, she says, will likely start seeing changes in their symptoms in six months. Dr. Loring believes the treatment could also work for other diseases like Alzheimer's and Multiple Sclerosis. ‘These diseases are not going to able to be treated with a conventional drug that you take, it's going to have to be more sophisticated than that, and I think this opens the opportunity for really scientifically-based, knowledge-based therapies. Stem cells are medicines; we can't forget that. They're living drugs," said Dr. Loring.Her team has already proven the treatment works in animals. Now they're waiting on FDA approval for a clinical trial of 10 patients, Raub will be one of them. Raub is also a patient advocate and works tirelessly to fundraise for Summit for Stem Cell Foundation. "The disease is a progressive disease and their [patient's] time is of the essence, it's critical to people with Parkinson’s. The disease does not wait for an answer, it just keeps going," said Raub.Raub says she won't stop either, on behalf of all the patient's up against time. 3077

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Some local colleges are shifting toward a new policy of getting rid of standardized test scores as an admissions requirement.The University of San Diego is one of 60 other colleges, including local Cal State and University of California campuses, now using the "test blind" policy amid a pandemic-altered high school experience and education.The SAT has been something on Laila Ellyse's mind for some time now. She says part of her concern recently has been COVID-19-related restrictions on testing group sizes."You've been hearing about it for such a long time you have to take the SAT, it's like this big bad test," Ellyse said. "The number of seats available at any given test site is now reduced because of social distancing and all of those kinds of things." Ellyse says she had to go all the way to Utah to take the test because there were no testing site options in California. Standardized testing has also become increasingly debate following the nationwide college admissions scandal, in which several parents were charged with paying to get their kids admitted to top tier colleges.That's part of the reason USD is now a test blind campus. While SAT or ACT scores can be admitted, they'll be ignored for admission. Instead, college officials will consider other factors including high school academic record and GPA, letters of recommendation, admission essays, extra-curricular involvement, work experiences, and family responsibilities.USD says it hopes the new policy will make the admissions process fair and equitable for all students and allow lower-income students who may face barriers to accessing testing an even playing field.The test blind policy may not be permanent though. UCSD is test-optional until 2022 and test blind until 2024. San Diego State and local CSU campuses are test blind for 2021 only at the moment. 1868

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Starting this fall, the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine is offering the first-ever certificate program specializing in medical marijuana.The three-semester class promises to teach health care professionals the basics of medical cannabis, so they can begin to use it in their practice."We thought it was important for health care professionals to have objective information about medical marijuana," says school President Jack Miller.Miller says part of the program's purpose is to help dispel some of the myths surrounding medical marijuana."There's a lot of misinformation," Miller says. "If CBD worked for everything that people said it worked for, we wouldn't need another medicine. It seems like the claims are that it will help everything. But really a lot more research needs to be done."Across town, that research is happening. UC San Diego's Center for Medical Cannabis Research has been studying the benefits of the drug since 2000."It's clear from our research and other people's work that there are some medicinal properties to compounds within marijuana," says CMCR Director Dr. Igor Grant.But, Grant cautions that it still may be too soon to have a degree program focused on medical marijuana."There are some things we know, but a lot of things we don't," he says. "It would be interesting to see what their (PCOM) curriculum is."RELATED: Medical marijuana drugs slowed by research, approval gridlockPacific College's website says the certificate program focuses on the endocannabinoid system and its effects on the human body. They also teach doctors how to advise and prescribe the drug to patients.Stefanie Gaines, one of the first students to take the course, says she's excited about adding marijuana-based treatments to her practice in acupuncture."I think the future is looking awesome for medical cannabis," she says. 1871

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Several San Diego County schools are being honored as part of the 2020 California Distinguished Schools Award Program. The program recognizes schools based on performance and progress on state indicators. Those indicators include test scores, suspension rates and conditions and climate, according to the State Superintendent. Schools hold their titles for two years because elementary schools and middle and high schools are recognized on alternate years.
