The Santa Ana City Council will discuss the new homeless camp in DTSA at their Tuesday meeting

Posted on by Posted in Civic Affairs, Crime, homeless, Santa Ana Leave a comment

At tomorrow night’s City Council meeting, the Santa Ana City Council will be discussing the large homeless encampment that has sprouted up on Ross St. in the wake of the abrupt closing of the Courtyard homeless shelter in DTSA, as reported by the Saving Santa Ana Facebook page.

The new homeless encampment is right next to at least five schools and a public library:

  1. Willard Intermediate School
  2. El Sol Academy
  3. Storybook Preschool & Kindergarten
  4. Orange County School of the Arts
  5. Orange County Educational Arts Academy
  6. Santa Ana Public Library

On Tuesday night, March 2, the Santa Ana City Council will be discussing a closed session action item regarding the increase in homeless encampments at the 837 N. Ross St. Join the Zoom Webinar directly at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/315965149. 

What is being discussed in whether the City should have Code Enforcement rules upheld or let it slide.

Unfortunately the City currently is very strict about who can stay at their homeless shelters. As a result many of the homeless end up in the streets. Generally the City requires proof that the homeless are from Santa Ana. However that is a moot point. They are here and they are not leaving! Many have been here for years. Santa Ana is the County seat, which attracts the homeless as they come here to avail themselves of County and State services.

This situation poses a conundrum for the City of Santa Ana. They can face potential legal issues if they look the other way and allow the homeless encampment to continue. However if they make exceptions as to who can stay at their shelters that too will result in problems as those exceptions will become the new standard.

You can call in to the City Council meeting, which will be conducted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic at around 4:45 p.m.

Speakers will be called in order of call-in time starting at 5 p.m. It won’t take long and you should be done by 5:20 or so.

What happens when the Tustin police chase the homeless out of their city?

Posted on by Posted in homeless, Orange County, Santa Ana, Tustin 1 Comment

The Tustin Police Department recently received complaints regarding trespassing and unlawful camping near the railroad tracks by Jamboree Road.

A Tustin Homeless Liaison Officer examined the unoccupied encampment and left a notice ordering its removal. A day later the Homeless Liaison Officer returned to find a majority of the personal items had been removed.

The remaining items were lawfully removed by Field Services.

Hurray for Tustin but where did the homeless people in question go? Tustin does provide a homeless shelter. But in the example above the homeless people in question just left. Where did they go?

This is how most cities deal with the homeless. They just chase them off and they go to the next city, which in this case was probably Santa Ana.

This is why it is important for the County of Orange to open and maintain regional homeless shelters. There are those who complain about the latest shelter being set up here in Santa Ana. But the homeless issue is a regional problem. And Santa Ana is our County seat. It is where many homeless people come to for whatever benefits they can scrounge up.

To make matters worse the drugs that many of the Orange County homeless are addicted to are often found in Santa Ana, where local gangs pad their income by selling Meth and Opiates on the streets.

Not all the homeless are on drugs but many are. The rest have many stories but all have ended the same, with these people living hand to mouth on our streets.

This problem won’t go away by itself. These people need help including drug and mental health treatment. That help is on the way, both at the new Yale Navigation Center and the new homeless shelter the City of Santa is opening.

Should other Orange County cities be doing more? Sure. And several of them are. New shelters have opened this year in several Orange County cities such as Placentia, Anaheim and Costa Mesa. More shelters are on the way. You can see them all on Google Maps. The County of Orange also provides an online directory of such services including shelters here.

Orange County will open the new Yale homeless shelter in Santa Ana in January

Posted on by Posted in homeless, Orange County, Santa Ana 5 Comments

The Orange County Board of Supervisors have approved a nearly $18 million, three-year contract with a non-profit organization, People Assisting the Homeless, known as PATH, to manage the new Yale Navigation Center, a 425-bed homeless shelter that will be opening up in January in Santa Ana at 2229 S. Yale St., near Warner Ave. and Harbor Blvd.

The Yale Navigation Center is going to replace the Courtyard Shelter, which was set up at a former bus terminal in Downtown Santa Ana, across from the Santa Ana Civic Center. This is good news for DTSA as the Courtyard has brought a lot of problems to that area.

PATH also manages a 100-bed homeless shelter, or navigation center, that opened in Placentia earlier this year.

The Courtyard was the County response back in 2016 to the incredible number of homeless people that used to camp out at the Santa Ana Civic Center Plaza. At one time as many as 400 transients were served there but now, due to COVID-19, they can only serve about 150 people.

Those who are currently living at the Courtyard will be moved to the new Yale Navigation Center. This will be huge improvement in the quality of their lives – a definite improvement over the poorly converted bus terminal.

The County is going to take steps to ensure safety at the Yale Navigation Center with 24/7 onsite security, no foot traffic to and from the facility, and a team to canvass the area twice a day.

The Yale Navigation Center was agreed to in Federal court as a resolution of a 2018 homeless civil rights lawsuit. Unfortunately the Santa Ana City Council attempted to block the project after it was initially approved by the City of Santa Ana. The City Council argued that Santa Ana is already doing enough with regard to the homeless but the reality is that our city is awash with homeless people and crime has greatly increased as a result. Doing nothing is not a solution!

Santa Ana is also working on a 200-bed navigation center, which is also expected to open early in 2021.

The new Yale Navigation Center is intended to provide shelter, meals, sanitary facilities and access to case management, employment and housing assistance, healthcare, mental health services and substance abuse treatment among other supportive services and assistance to individuals experiencing homelessness. Providing emergency shelter and access to wrap around supportive services will assist individuals experiencing homelessness in the Central Service Planning Area in accessing the appropriate resources to improve their overall health and stability.

Establishing the Yale Transitional Center will meet a critical need for individuals experiencing homelessness as well as the broader community, while also addressing a pressing social issue that is deeply affecting local businesses and neighborhoods. The overall purpose of the program is to connect individuals experiencing homelessness to supportive services and to achieve permanent housing and self-sufficiency.

The City of Santa Ana is opening a new homeless shelter

Posted on by Posted in Civic Affairs, homeless, Housing, Santa Ana Leave a comment

The City of Santa Ana and the Illumination Foundation broke ground yesterday on the location of a permanent homeless shelter.

Nonprofit organization Illumination Foundation will operate the new Navigation and Recuperative Care Shelter, which is expected to open in the spring on a 1.7-acre site in an industrial area in southeast Santa Ana near the interim shelter. Funding for the project was approved by the Santa Ana City Council using state and federal grants.

City Councilmembers Jose Solorio, Phil Bacerra and Nelida Mendoza spoke at the event.

The project consists of renovation of an existing industrial manufacturing facility into a two-level center to provide temporary emergency housing. The Navigation and Recuperative Care Center will include 200 beds for individuals, couples, and families with children who are homeless in Santa Ana.

The beds include 150 beds funded by the City of Santa Ana that will be used by individuals who have strong ties to Santa Ana. Another 50 Recuperative Beds funded by CalOptima will provide a place for homeless individuals to recover after medical treatment.

The new shelter also includes a community clinic with medical, dental, and behavioral health components. All guests will receive the supportive services to put them on a pathway to transition into permanent housing.

The center will replace the interim shelter, The Link, which opened in September 2018. More than 900 Santa Ana residents have been referred to the Link, and of those, 151 individuals have been successfully housed.

The County of Orange awarded funding for turning two motels into homeless housing

Posted on by Posted in homeless, Orange County, Santa Ana Leave a comment

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. – The County of Orange and Jamboree Housing Corporation were awarded a total of approximately $23.1 million in funding as co-applicants and in partnership with the City of Stanton under the State Homekey program for The Tahiti Motel and Stanton Inn and Suites applications.

“Housing is one of many important steps on the path to self-sufficiency,” said Chairwoman Michelle Steel, Second District Supervisor. “The County looks forward to using this funding to improve the quality of life for residents facing housing hardship during these unprecedented times.”

Two of the motels identified for Homekey funds and conversion to permanent housing executed purchase and sale agreements – The Stanton Inn and Suites located at 7161 Katella Avenue, Stanton, CA and The Tahiti Motel located at 11850 Beach Blvd, Stanton, CA. The third site is still in negotiation with the motel owner.

“Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Orange County was already working toward helping residents who were at-risk or experiencing homelessness find housing,” said Vice Chairman Andrew Do, First District Supervisor. “The Homekey Program gives the County an additional vehicle to help push this mission forward.”

The Stanton Inn and Suites is currently being utilized by the County as a Project Roomkey location. Jamboree responded to the County of Orange’s Request For Information with these two sites as potential motel conversions eligible for Homekey funding. Jamboree brings development experience in the conversion of motels and vast experience in the development and operation of supportive housing.

Both the County and City also identified funding to support the match and operations of the developments.

This partnership and collaboration between the County and Jamboree as co-applicants and the partnership of the City is what made for a strong application to the State.

“The County appreciates the State’s urgency in creating the Homekey program and awarding the funding needed to implement this program successfully to serve one of the most vulnerable populations,” said Supervisor Donald Wagner, Third District.

The Homekey program seeks to quickly fund the conversion of motel units into housing as part of the State’s response to COVID-19. The two projects will create a total of 132 new affordable homes for people experiencing homelessness who have been impacted by COVID-19 in Orange County — a huge win for both public health and addressing the homelessness crisis long-term.

The Garden Grove Police Department’s SRT officers partnered with CHP – Westminster, Caltrans Orange County District 12, Westminster Police Department, CA, and City Net to do outreach along the SR-22 Freeway yesterday, as reported on Facebook.

In all, 24 individuals were contacted and provided resources. That generally means the individuals were provided with housing options, mental and drug treatment, etc.

Two arrests were made, including one for possession of fentanyl. The suspects were not identified.

Cal-Trans also placed cleanup work orders for four large transient encampments.

Now if only this would happen all along the Santiago bike trail in Santa Ana, leading to Harte Park in Orange…

The City of Santa Ana alleges a breach of the homeless settlement agreement by Orange County

Posted on by Posted in homeless, Orange County, Santa Ana Leave a comment

The County of Orange has breached a settlement agreement by transporting homeless individuals into Santa Ana from across Orange County and failing to do its fair share to provide homeless services, the City of Santa Ana alleges in an amended complaint filed on Monday, Aug. 31.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated this crisis as the County has implemented overly restrictive admission restrictions at its shelter in Santa Ana and reduced the number of County shelter beds, leaving more homeless individuals unsheltered in the city, the complaint states.

These and other actions by the County have resulted in the City of Santa Ana, which has the highest Latino population and one of the lowest median household incomes in Orange County, bearing an inequitable share of the responsibility for addressing the countywide homelessness crisis. The City has diverted millions of dollars from programs and services on which residents depend in order to address the disproportionate share of homeless people living in Santa Ana, the City alleges.

After numerous attempts to seek assistance from the County in the City’s efforts to relieve homelessness, the City had no other choice but to file suit.

The First Amended Complaint and writ of mandamus in Case No. 8:20-cv-00069-DOC (KESx) was filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division. The complaint names the County of Orange as defendant. The lawsuit was originally filed on Jan. 13, 2020.

This legal action follows a July 23, 2019, settlement agreement between the County and Orange County Catholic Worker that required the County to adhere to certain guidelines for the operation of its shelters. It also prohibited the Orange County Sheriff’s Department from transporting individuals experiencing homelessness across the boundaries of the County’s three Service Planning Areas.

Although Santa Ana is not a party to the OCCW Settlement Agreement, Santa Ana is a third-party beneficiary of the agreement and entitled to relief for breach of contract because it was intended that Santa Ana would benefit from the Settlement Agreement.

Allegations in the amended complaint include:

  • The County has engaged in the de facto transportation of homeless individuals across Service Planning Area boundaries to Santa Ana by arresting and transporting them to the County Intake Release Center located in Santa Ana, where they are released rather than being transported to their cities of arrest.
  • The Orange County Sheriff’s Department has admitted that it “does not keep statistics related to the transportation of homeless individuals,” making it impossible to track OCSD’s compliance with the OCCW Settlement Agreement’s prohibition on transportation across Service Planning Area boundaries.
  • The Courtyard, a County shelter in Santa Ana, no longer provides sufficient access to beds, which has increased the number of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness in Santa Ana.
  • The County has failed to build additional shelters and has caved to pressure from wealthier, whiter cities in South County, rescinding its plans to open shelters in those communities.
  • Due to the disproportionate growth in the number of people experiencing homelessness in Santa Ana as compared to the county as a whole, Santa Ana has incurred millions of dollars in expenses and diverted resources. The City spent an estimated $25.4 million to address homelessness-related issues in the 2019-20 fiscal year and has increased the number of police officers devoted to issues relating to homelessness from one to nine in three years.

The City of Santa Ana is seeking monetary damages from the County to reimburse the City for money spent on homeless resources and related services.

The City additionally is seeking an injunction and order that includes:

  • Prohibiting the County from transporting homeless individuals across Service Planning Area boundaries into Santa Ana and requiring the County to track the number of any homeless individuals who are transported;
  • Requiring that the County impose less restrictive entry requirements at The Courtyard and provide additional low-barrier emergency shelter(s) outside of Santa Ana;
  • Requiring that the County Intake Release Center in Santa Ana permanently institute policies providing for transportation of releasees to the city in which they were arrested; and
  • Requiring the County to improve access to existing shelters in Orange County and open additional shelters in parts of the county other than Santa Ana.

La Ciudad de Santa Ana Alega Incumplimiento del Acuerdo de Conciliación sobre los Indigentes por parte del Condado de Orange

El Condado de Orange ha incumplido un acuerdo de conciliación al transportar individuos indigentes a Santa Ana de otras partes del Condado de Orange y no hacer lo que le corresponde para proporcionar servicios para personas sin hogar, alega la Ciudad de Santa Ana en una queja modificada presentada el lunes 31 de agosto.

La pandemia de COVID-19 ha exacerbado más esta crisis, ya que el Condado ha implementado restricciones de admisión demasiado restrictivas en su refugio en Santa Ana y reducido la cantidad de camas en refugios del Condado, lo que ha dejado a más individuos indigentes sin refugio en la ciudad, dice la denuncia.

Estas y otras medidas por parte del Condado han resultado en que la Ciudad de Santa Ana, la cual tiene la mayor población de Latinos y uno de los promedios de ingresos del hogar más bajos en el Condado de Orange, cargue con una porción injusta de la responsabilidad de abordar la crisis de indigencia en todo el condado. La Ciudad ha desviado millones de dólares de programas y servicios en los que dependen los residentes a fin de abordar una parte desproporcionada de personas sin hogar que viven en Santa Ana, alega la Ciudad.

Luego de numerosos intentos para buscar ayuda del Condado en los esfuerzos de la Ciudad para aliviar la indigencia, la Ciudad no ha tenido otra opción más que demandar.

La Primera Queja Modificada y auto de mandamus en el Caso No. 8:20-cv-00069-DOC (KESx) fue presentada en el Tribunal de Distrito de Estados Unidos para el Distrito Central de California, División Sur. La denuncia nombra al Condado de Orange como acusado. La demanda se presentó originalmente el 13 de enero del 2020.

Esta acción jurídica sigue un acuerdo de conciliación del 23 de julio del 2019 entre el Condado y Orange County Catholic Worker que requirió que el Condado se adhiera a ciertas guías para la operación de sus refugios. También prohibió al Departamento del Sheriff del Condado de Orange transportar individuos en condición de indigentes entre los linderos de las tres Áreas de Planeación de Servicios del Condado.

Aunque Santa Ana no es parte del Acuerdo de conciliación de OCCW, Santa Ana es un tercero beneficiario del acuerdo y tiene derecho a reparación por incumplimiento de contrato porque se pretendía que Santa Ana se beneficiara del Acuerdo de conciliación.

Los alegatos en la queja enmendada incluyen:

• El Condado se ha dedicado al transporte de facto de individuos indigentes entre linderos de Áreas de Planeación de Servicios a Santa Ana al arrestarlos y transpor¬tarlos al Centro de Admisión y Liberación del Condado ubicado en Santa Ana, donde son liberados en vez de ser transportados a sus ciudades de arresto.
• El Departamento del Sheriff del Condado de Orange ha admitido que “no lleva estadísticas sobre el transporte de individuos indigentes,” haciendo imposible dar seguimiento al cumplimiento de OCSD sobre la prohibición del Acuerdo de conciliación de OCCW sobre el transporte entre linderos de Áreas de Planeación de Servicios.
• The Courtyard —un refugio del Condado en Santa Ana— ya no brinda suficiente acceso a camas, lo que ha aumentado la cantidad de personas desamparadas que se encuentran sin hogar en Santa Ana.
• El Condado no ha construido refugios adicionales y ha cedido a la presión de ciudades más ricas y más blancas en el Sur del Condado, rescindiendo sus planes de abrir refugios en esas comunidades.
• Debido al crecimiento desproporcionado del número de personas en condición sin hogar en Santa Ana comparado con el Condado en general, Santa Ana ha incurrido millones de dólares en gastos y ha desviado recursos. La Ciudad gastó aproximadamente $25.4 millones para abordar asuntos relacionados con la indi¬gencia en el año fiscal 2019-20 y ha aumentado la cantidad de policías dedicados a asuntos relacionados con la indigencia de uno a nueve en tres años.

La Ciudad de Santa Ana busca daños monetarios del Condado para reembolsar a la Ciudad el dinero gastado en recursos para personas sin hogar y servicios relacionados.

Además, la Ciudad está buscando una orden judicial que incluya:

• Prohibir al Condado transportar a individuos indigentes entre linderos de Áreas de Planeación de Servicios a Santa Ana y requerir que el Condado lleve control de la cantidad de todo individuo indigente que sea transportado;
• Requerir que el Condado imponga requisitos de entrada menos restrictivos en The Courtyard y provea refugio/s de emergencia adicional/es de baja barrera fuera de Santa Ana;
• Requerir que el Centro de Admisión y Liberación del Condado en Santa Ana instituya permanentemente políticas para el transporte de gente liberada a la ciudad en donde fue arrestada; y
• Requerir que el Condado mejore el acceso a refugios existentes en el Condado de Orange y abra refugios adicionales en partes del Condado aparte de Santa Ana
