SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The homeless population in San Diego County has decreased over the last year, according to a San Diego task force.  Every year, the county conducts a tally of how many people are homeless on a single night in January. This year’s count, done on January 26, was coordinated by the Regional Task Force on the Homeless.The task force says the number of homeless throughout the county has decreased six percent to 8,576. However, the number of homeless veterans went up to 1,300 - a 24 percent increase. Supervisor Ron Roberts, the Homeless Task Force Chairman, says permanent housing still needs to be a priority. “Seeing the overall number decline was a positive reversal, but there are far too many swings in data to declare a trend or to not see other areas where we need to increase our focus,” said San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts, who chairs the RTFH. “We continue to face many challenges, highlighted by a lack of new housing, a condition that squeezes hardest those with the fewest resources."RELATED: Volunteers count number of homeless living in San DiegoThe numbers from the federally-mandated Point-in-Time Count (PITC) show the number of sheltered and unsheltered homeless people in each of the county’s 18 cities, as well as in unincorporated areas.The County will present the full report, with a more in-depth analysis of the data, to the task force at 3 p.m.The PITC is meant to help communities and policymakers understand their regions’ most current challenges and areas with the most pressing need for limited funding. 1594

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Students from around San Diego are using a modern medium to learn and inspire.The Cesar Chavez Service Clubs, which has chapters at 22 local schools, has launched the "Chavistas Podcast."Once a month, they interview a local leader, learning that person's story. They hope it can inspire other kids to reach for the stars."We feel that, as a community of Chavistas, that we can get a good message of community out there," say Ariana Gallegos, the club supervisor.Gallegos has a background in radio broadcasting and uses that to help the kids craft their interviews."It's a beautiful experience that I get to bring the students to a setting that sometimes is hard to be at," says Galleos. "But it allows them to see that if I can do it, you can do it."Students in the club say it's been a fun experience. They hope other kids will listen and learn."When it turnes out good, it's really nice, just feeling like you accomplished something good," says Wilson Elementary 7th Grader Mecklin Montgomery. "I like getting other people's information out there, and I want people to hear their story and possibly be inspired by it."To listen to the podcast, click here. 1184

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The college admissions bribery scandal has parents and students outraged at the possibility of elite access to America’s top universities that would bypass an increasingly competitive application process. The alleged bribes reflect the growing cost of ensuring students have their pick of higher education. As a teen advances through high school, the costs mount from college prep, tests, application fees, and social events associated with the milestone of graduation. For families in San Diego, where the median income for a family of four is ,400 according to the city's website, many of these options are not financially viable. Families who can afford the basic admissions costs and key senior year extras are looking at an investment of roughly ,300.10News broke down the expenses associated with college preparation through senior year to see what it takes to gain admission. COLLEGE PREP Preparing for college can start while children are in middle school and kick into high gear when students reach high school. Multiple companies offer college prep, including tutoring and full-service counseling. Prices can range from about ,000 into six figures for assistance through four years of high school. Kaplan offers a variety of options including tutoring starting at 99 and live online learning with an expert for 9 (at time of publication). The Princeton Review’s website indicates its ‘most popular’ choice for students is a course called SAT 1400+ for about ,400. Students will earn a score about 1400 in two months, the website indicates. Parents who choose to invest in these programs can look for discounts on company websites depending on the time of year. A free alternative is Khan Academy, a nonprofit which offers videos, study drills, and a personalized learning dashboard across a variety of subjects. TESTINGThe testing process opens sophomore year when students are allowed to take the PSAT. There are two different tests in spring and fall which cost students if the schools don’t pay. The test is used by the National Merit Scholarship program to find eligible students. Those who earn high scores receive recognition on college applications and possibly, scholarships. High school seniors are usually required to complete the SAT to be considered for admission to college. Each test costs .50, and the test with the essay is .50. Fee waivers are available for low-income students. There is no limit to the number of times seniors can take the test, but only the most recent six scores stay on file. High scores are a top priority for college admissions counselors. The ACT, which many universities do not require, has a fee of .50 with the Writing section and .50 without Writing. APPLICATION FEESA senior who wants a wide range of options for universities may wish to apply to multiple schools, which means more application fees and a more significant financial burden on families. Although many universities offer fee waivers, they are usually limited to low-income students. The University of California had an application fee of per campus for the 2018-2019 school year, making the popular choices of UC San Diego, Berkeley, UCLA, and UC Santa Barbara a significant investment. California State University allows students to submit one application for its colleges, with a fee for each college. The University of San Diego also had a fee. While public universities may seem expensive, private schools may cost more. According to U.S. News and World Report, Stanford University had the highest application fee in the nation at . SENIOR YEAR COSTSBefore your student makes a decision, he or she might want to travel to campus. Day trips can be inexpensive but visiting colleges far from home can involve flights, hotel rooms, and a bigger food budget. After the admissions pour in, parents can expect to pay a retainer to secure a student’s spot at the college of their choice. That can be hundreds of dollars, in the case of SDSU. Other senior year expenses can include a cap and gown () and a yearbook (up to 0). Prom can be a financial burden with the average cost at about 0, according to Money.com. That trip to Disneyland for Grad Nite is also pricey. Tickets start at and don’t include food, transportation, hotels, and souvenirs. 4350

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The Department of Defense has awarded a San Diego biotech company up to million to help develop a next-generation drug to fight COVID-19.Sorrento Therapeutics calls the drug a “rapid countermeasure” against the disease, one that might serve as a vaccine substitute in certain populations or a critical stopgap tool if the virus mutates.“With this, we have a new platform potentially that can respond very quickly to any type of emerging threat,” said CEO Dr. Henry Ji.Sorrento is trying to become the first company to develop an approved DNA-encoded monoclonal antibody treatment. The approach is similar to the experimental monoclonal antibody treatment used on President Trump, but Sorrento’s concept is a more advanced version that offers several benefits.Sorrento’s drug is designed to be used as either a treatment in infected patients or a fast-forming layer of defense in healthy people. The company said its solution should be cheaper and easier to deploy than existing monoclonal antibodies, while offering vaccine-like protective effects that last for several months rather than just two or three weeks.Antibodies are one of the body’s key defense mechanisms. They seek out pathogens and bind to them, marking the invader for destruction like ground troops marking an enemy base for an airstrike. In some cases, antibodies can even neutralize an invader themselves by blocking its method of entry into cells.Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies designed by scientists to neutralize a pathogen. They are hand-picked, genetically modified super antibodies that are cloned in labs.However, the process of growing these super soldiers in the lab is difficult, transporting them requires a cold chain, and as a result, monoclonal antibodies are among the most expensive drugs in the world.Instead of giving people an infusion of pre-made antibodies, Sorrento’s idea is to give people a shot of DNA that instructs some of their cells to churn out perfectly pre-designed antibodies.“It's much easier to make enough DNA to treat a large number of people than it is to make enough protein to treat a large number of people. That’s just a fact about manufacturing,” said Dr. Robert Allen, Sorrento’s chief scientific officer on the project.Dr. Allen said the company is hopeful the drug will induce cells to make protective antibodies for six months or more.This DNA approach to an antibody treatment has never been approved for any disease but other companies are working on their own versions of it. Another biotech with ties to San Diego, Inovio Pharmaceuticals, became the first company to test this approach in humans in 2019 for a drug targeting the Zika virus.Sorrento’s approach is similar to the way DNA vaccines work, but it cuts out intermediary steps and jumpstarts the production of antibodies, rather than leaving the production of antibodies up to the body’s immune system. The result is that protective antibodies can start circulating in days after injection rather than weeks, the company said.“What this is capable of doing is it bypasses the need for the immune system,” said Dr. Mark Brunswick, Sorrento’s senior vice president for regulatory affairs.The drug is unlikely to replace a vaccine in most situations because vaccines can produce other defense mechanisms like T-cells that work in conjunction with antibodies. But the drug might work better than a vaccine for the elderly and others with weakened immune systems who are unable to produce a robust number of antibodies on their own, Brunswick said.Still, the company still has a lot of pre-clinical work and testing to go. Sorrento is hoping to have the drug ready for human trials in four to six months.By then, vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna will likely be widely available, but Dr. Ji said the world needs to prepare for the possibility this virus will mutate.“When you vaccinate hundreds of millions, potentially billions of people, the virus is under tremendous evolution pressure,” he said. “It will escape. It’s guaranteed that the virus is going to mutate and escape all of the vaccines we’re trying to create.”If it does, he said Sorrento will be ready to rapidly deploy its DNA-based countermeasure. 4223
