This month, Mayor Gloria and Councilmember Whitburn held a press conference announcing updates to the enforcement of homeless encampments and streamlining ways to open new shelter beds to address homeless numbers.
Additionally, The County Board of Supervisors approved funding for a new app that will help first responders and homeless outreach workers find where beds are available in local homeless shelters. A pilot program for the app could be up and running within six months, and the hope is to have every County shelter included before the year ends.
