A bombshell report on Orange County temporary homeless shelters found dangerously unclean conditions, reports of abuse and disregard, lack of temperature control and threats from staff
A view of the exterior of the Courtyard Transitional Center in Santa Ana, one of the shelters mentioned in a new ACLU report. The Los Angeles Times was denied access to take photos in the facility.
The report is based on first-person visits and more than 70 interviews with residents, staff members and shelter volunteers at three emergency shelters: the Courtyard Transitional Center in Santa Ana, opened in October 2016; Bridges at Kraemer Place in Anaheim that opened in May 2017; and SAFEPlace in Santa Ana, which opened last April.
An employee at one of the Santa Ana emergency homeless shelters found that bedbugs would crawl on you if you sat in a chair long enough. The ACLU argues that these shelters are ineffective in ending homelessness; in their report, the civil rights organization advocates an expansion of affordable housing and permanent supportive housing, which includes both housing and services like mental healthcare.
