During the past several weeks, Monrovia city staff has been working to review the effectiveness of the current response to the homelessness issues that exist in the community and to assess potential responses to new transient population issues that have arisen more recently, according to City Manager Oliver Chi’s report on the city website. The report continues:

“To that end, Chief Hunt has worked to reconvene the Homelessness and Park Conduct Committee to review the effectiveness of our current strategies, as well as discuss potential adjustments moving forward. Our current efforts have been based on the recommendations developed by the Homelessness & Park Conduct Committee that was established in 2014. The six ideas that the group came up with include: 1. Community Outreach Educational Programming 2. Directed Giving Campaign 3. Populate the Parks with Programs 4. Neighborhood Park Watch 5. Video Surveillance Cameras 6. Restorative Court Program.

“Of late, new issues and transient-oriented concerns have been raised, and we plan on engaging the committee in a discussion regarding the following items: Assess strategies for addressing the rise in transient populations living in recreational vehicles throughout the City; determine next steps for the directed giving campaign; and discuss current status of the six initial recommendations adopted by the city council. The committee will be meeting here again in the next week or two, and we will be sure to keep everyone apprised of the progress that we make here moving forward.”
