BREAKING NEWS: CAO Deems Will Rogers State Beach Parking Lot ‘Infeasible’ Location for Temporary Homeless Housing
The City Administrative Office deemed the county-operated parking lot at Will Rogers State Beach an “infeasible” location for tiny homes or safe camping, according to an emailed statement from Councilmember Mike Bonin. The site was one of 10 different locations that were considered following a motion submitted by Bonin and later passed by City Council to study the feasibility of sites across the district for temporarily housing people experiencing homelessness.
“In short, our City Administrative Office, which did the analysis, is essentially recommending no to most of the locations, is continuing to explore a handful of locations, and is urging the city instead to fund two solutions I have been championing for a while: the purchase of local motels for homeless housing and the expansion of the Encampments to Homes program,” Bonin wrote in the email.Full coverage will be available in the August 19 edition of the Palisadian-Post.
