• San Clemente has shut their only city shelter and has decided to bus the homeless to the armories. This will be a joint effort with the cities of San Juan Capistrano and Dana Point. • Ten Mayors from South Orange County (in a recent article) stated that County - funded homeless shelter beds in other areas should be available for their homeless population. They want to abandon the Regional System of Care of North, Central and South spas. This position was reinforced with seven of these cities filing an amicus brief on the Boise vs Martin Supreme Court case (see attachment). . The County hasn't identified additional shelter sites in South County or other cities in the Central Spa (attached is a list of the current shelters in the Central Spa). My email to Judge Carter on June 11, 2018 (see below) is still relevant to our situation today. It also explains why Santa Ana's homeless counts increased significantly in 2018.

The City of Santa Ana residents and businesses are anxiously waiting for help in dealing with the homeless crisis. On June 5t1i, Chairman Andrew Do stated that a fractious Santa Ana City Council was creating a "fake crisis" regarding the MHA facility; and that the Santa Ana Police department cleared the Plaza of Flags. The relocation of the homeless individuals was the result of your court directive. He also stated the city council needed to speak with a unified voice.
