LA County Conducts Pathway Home Operation in Monrovia and Duarte 发布日期:2024/6/24 来源:International daily 打印

MONROVIA -- Los Angeles County’s Pathway Home program brought 52 people experiencing homelessness off the streets of Monrovia, Duarte, and surrounding areas in unincorporated LA County into safe interim housing, where they will receive supportive services and other resources to help them transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing.

“I’m pleased the County’s Pathway Home program has brought its well-coordinated outreach, support services, and housing solutions to the streets of Monrovia and Duarte,” Supervisor Kathryn Barger said. “A lot of work and planning goes into each Pathway Home operation so that people experiencing homelessness are helped in a compassionate manner that also reflects a firm commitment to clearing encampments. Public spaces must be clean and accessible to the community at large, and Pathway Home’s systematic approach works hard to meet that goal.”

The Monrovia and Duarte operation conducted on June 5, 2024, is LA County’s 16th Pathway Home encampment resolution since the program’s inception in August 2023. More than 600 formerly unsheltered residents in LA County have moved indoors through Pathway Home.

“The City of Monrovia has always held that interim housing solutions alone cannot solve homelessness. Individuals need additional support services, including healthcare, case management, job training, and even basic skill development like computer literacy,” Monrovia City Manager Dylan Feik said. “Perhaps most importantly, individuals also need a pathway to permanent supportive housing. The Pathway Home project has all of these necessary components.”

Duarte City Manager Brian Villalobos said, “The City of Duarte is grateful to Pathway Home. They are housing Duarte residents who have been living on the streets for five, ten, and in some cases, twenty-plus years. They finally have a path to a permanent housing solution.”

The LA County Homeless Initiative collaborated with the Office of Supervisor Barger, the City of Monrovia and the City of Duarte to conduct the Pathway Home operation. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and nonprofit service providers Union Station Homeless Services and Volunteers of America were essential to bringing unsheltered residents indoors as they had built trusting relationships with them by providing engagement and support during their unhoused experience. Union Station Homeless Services will continue to work with these residents at the motel operating as their interim housing location as they regain their long-term housing stability. The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and the Monrovia Police Department were also critical partners in the operation.
