SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Mayor Kevin Faulconer is in Washington, D.C., for the 88th meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, where he will outline San Diego’s strategies on homelessness and housing.

He will also lead a forum on trade and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Faulconer is also scheduled to meet with the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on environmental issues at the border, as well as with U.S. Navy officials to discuss the expansion of San Diego’s transportation network.
