Homeless Solutions for Huntington Beach
The City is committed to addressing the issue of homelessness to assist citizens in need while minimizing the impact on the community by ensuring that businesses can thrive and residents' quality of life is protected.
Beginning in 2015, the City assigned a full-time officer dedicated to homeless issues, and has continued to allocate additional resources over the past few years. The City's efforts have grown to include a Homeless Task Force (with four full-time officers, and up to 4 case managers/social workers) and a Navigation Center providing shelter for eligible homeless individuals with ties to Huntington Beach. This multi-pronged approach is accomplished in a variety of ways, such as weekly outreach to engage homeless individuals and determine their needs, reuniting individuals with family members, working within the County's Coordinated Entry System to match individuals and families with housing opportunities, assisting in eviction prevention, maintaining walk-in office hours at the Main Police Station, as well as working cooperatively with local schools to assist children who are homeless or housing insecure.
