Orange County supervisor proposes temporary homeless shelters in Irvine, Huntington Beach and Santa Ana (ocregister.com)

 

Orange County Supervisor Shawn Nelson has proposed putting temporary homeless shelters on county-owned land in Irvine, Huntington Beach and Santa Ana – and he wants the first one to open within 30 days.

Nelson said the county would provide transportation to relocate homeless people. He said it was unclear on how the county would house people’s pets. And he said the new shelters might provide basic support services, similar to those provided at its Santa Ana shelter, such as access to health care and social services workers.

Nelson said his short-term plan would not prevent the county from formulating long-term solutions and that he didn’t want to wait for a permanent fix before addressing the issue. He also said he would be open to moving his proposed sites to other locations if someone has a better idea.
