On March 30, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that $136.6 million would be used to make 10 new locations for Project Homekey, a program designed to shelter homeless people. One of the locations will be in the County of Los Angeles, but Newsom’s announcement did not specify where. It did say that the county will receive $16.8 million for the project, and that the county will purchase and rehabilitate a 48-unit hotel, making it permanent supportive housing. The services provided will include intensive case management to help residents remain housed, or help with other goals.
The City of Long Beach received $1.3 million from the state’s Encampment Resolution Funding. It will be used for outreach, supportive and shelter services for an encampment site in Cambodia Town around MacArthur Park and the Mark Twain Neighborhood Library. Teams consisting of public health nurses, mental health clinicians and outreach team members will conduct outreach and offer temporary housing using the city’s Non-Congregate Shelter Program. From there they will help them acquire permanent housing. The grant allows for 40 people to be housed for six months. It also allows for physical and mental health services and case management through the city’s coordinated entry system.
