My Halloween Treat to our community is ensuring that every homeless individual has access to shelter and service programs. This morning I was able to secure a bed at Exodus SafeLanding located on Normandie & 114th Street. Beatrice was ready for help and flagged me down along Figueroa. This is becoming a normal occurrence.
Within the City of Los Angeles specifically for the Harbor Gateway North neighborhoods, we now have a new Unarmed Model of Crisis Response (aka UMCR). Teams will respond to NON-EMERGENCY scenarios with social services components (i.e. mental health, substance abuse, suicide threat, behavioral distress & conflict resolution).
Call 877 ASK LAPD ASK for the UMCR Team. They will respond within 20 minutes.
I am currently working to schedule informational meetings with local businesses experiencing issues from the homeless. I will begin notifying those businesses who are current members only.
As a reminder, you can submit outreach requests for anyone experiencing homelessness by visiting
