Quick update from a colleague...a federal judge told cities to have emergency housing and transitional housing in place BEFORE using/enforcing the anti-camping city ordinance. So, that is why cities are finally focused on addressing eviction, case management, mental health and affordable housing needs of those living in cars, streets and with relatives. The status of homelessness can happen to anyone of us. The Armory opens October 15th and three other shelter sites (Placentia, Fullerton and Buena Park) is planned for operation in 2020. The Mayor of Fullerton has meet up on the first Thursday of each month at 6:30pm in the Fullerton Community Center; an opportunity to give your helpful suggestions.

The Chamber let us know of a funding opportunity for organizations who work around emergency and basic needs, crisis stabilization, and personal and family empowerment

OCDE works closely with all of their school districts in this issue. The Fullerton School district has been participating, learning and growing for many years.
