A positive forum on solutions featuring innovators who took an idea and turned it into a successful program addressing homelessness.
Did you know that Utah has nearly ended chronic homelessness in their State? Three of the strategists who devised and implemented the Utah plan will discuss how they did it and saved money in the process.
Where can people go who are living in vehicles? Hear from New Beginnings in Santa Barbara which has a coordinated plan that keeps people safe and connected to services while living in a car or RV.
How can we address access to showers and toilets? Lava Mae in San Francisco converted buses into showers, providing a mobile system that drives to neighborhoods where people are in need.

*We suggest everyone buy stock in Andy Gump!
This is in LA, Sunset Boulevard.
Maybe our Supervisors should take a field trip.
Never happen. No sycophants who’ll kiss their asses.
*We have heard that before. What, they like people who will do nothing and occupy the seat of someone that would make something happen. Pretty Sad…when you walk through the park around the Supervisors Bldg. going to their Christmas Parties……isn’t it?
I was wondering about the bus depicted in the picture, and I found this :
“Last year, Google pledged $2m to homeless groups in San Francisco that work on everything from supportive housing to education programs. Part of that included a grant to a new nonprofit called Lava Mae, which converts decommissioned city buses into portable bathrooms for the homeless.”

The new website of the city of Anaheim has a page dedicated to the homeless issue, with an interesting Q&A section:
The homeless issue in Anaheim seems to be increasing, what is the City doing to address this growing population?
Where can the homeless go to protect their safety, as well as to ensure our parks are safe for residents and visitors to play?
What is the City doing to partner with agencies that already have shelters or resources to address homelessness?
Some cities have been dealing with the issue of homelessness for decades. Is the City of Anaheim exploring effective models that are being implemented by other cities?
What resources are available to prevent at-risk individuals/families from becoming or returning to a life of homelessness?

*All homeless should be instantaneously eligible for Medicade. 2ndly, the criminal element needs to be weeded out. 3rd. Priority housing placement for current and prior service vets – then women with children – then men with children. Finally, all those on prescription drugs need to be separated from the rest.
