Los Angeles County\u2019s Pathway Home program brought 25 people experiencing homelessness off the streets of Santa Monica and into safe interim housing, where they will receive supportive services and other resources to help them transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cLos Angeles County is here to support the City of Santa Monica in bringing unhoused community members inside and on a pathway to permanent housing,\u201d said Board of Supervisors Chair Lindsey P. Horvath, Third District. \u201cMultiple County departments, County-funded rental subsidies and outreach teams, housing navigators, and mental health clinicians are part of this week\u2019s Pathway Home effort, reflecting the all-hands-on-deck response that our homelessness emergency requires. County-city-community partnerships will see us out of this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us want the same thing: to help those living outdoors in our city find a safe place to go and get them on a pathway out of homelessness for good,\u201d Santa Monica Mayor Phil Brock said. \u201cIn Santa Monica, we know that we can\u2019t address the homelessness crisis on our own and this partnership with L.A. County allows us to break the cycle of homelessness, ensuring folks are not languishing on our streets and also restoring public spaces to their intended uses.\u201d<\/p>\n

The LA County Homeless Initiative collaborated with the Office of Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath, the City of Santa Monica, and the LA County Metropolitan Transportation Authority to conduct the Pathway Home operation on February 14, 2024.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the nonprofit service provider The People Concern (TPC), and the LA County Department of Mental Health’s Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME ) Team were essential to bringing unsheltered residents indoors as they had built trusting relationships with them by providing engagement and support during their unhoused experience.<\/p>\n

The LA County Department of Health Services – Housing for Health, LAHSA, and TPC will support the clients at the interim housing location. The LA County Chief Executive Office and and LA County Department of Public Health were also critical partners in the operation.<\/p>\n

“In the face of our region\u2019s homelessness crisis, the successful launch of LA County\u2019s Pathway Home initiative in Santa Monica reflects our collective effort to offer immediate, services-led solutions and underscores our commitment to the dignity of every individual experiencing homelessness,\u201d said John Maceri, CEO, The People Concern. \u201cBy bringing together a robust array of partners and resources, we’re not just addressing the symptoms of homelessness; we’re working towards sustainable, long-term, and permanent solutions. Every person we assist moving from an encampment into stable supportive housing represents a step forward in our journey towards a Los Angeles where everyone is housed, healthy and safe.”<\/p>\n

Pathway Home<\/a>\u00a0is an LA County Homeless Initiative-led encampment resolution program that is a critical component of the County\u2019s comprehensive response to the local emergency on homelessness adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2023. By leveraging emergency powers and partnerships with local jurisdictions, Pathway Home is a full-circle solution that brings people off the streets into immediately available interim housing accompanied by a comprehensive suite of supportive services and, ultimately, into safe, permanent homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
