Sara Somogyi, Recreation & Community Services Director
SUBJECT: REPORT, DISCUSSION, AND DIRECTION REGARDING HOMELESS
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
Recommendation: Provide Direction
SUMMARY
At the June 1, 2021, City Council Meeting, the City Council approved a budget
amendment in the amount of $65,000 to the Fiscal Year 2021-22 operating budget for
community outreach and a community forum on homelessness, and directed staff to host
a public forum on homelessness within the next 120 days with Mandarin translation. On
July 12, 2021, the City announced a Community Forum on Homelessness to be held on
Saturday, August 7, 2021, at the Arcadia Performing Arts Center. The Forum was
designed to provide educational and useful information on the topic of homelessness in
Arcadia. The Forum was also an opportunity for the Arcadia community to share its ideas
and concerns regarding this important issue.
This report is a summary of the activities conducted in response to the City Council’s
direction as well as the feedback the City received from the Arcadia community regarding
the homeless issue.
BACKGROUND
Recognizing the impact of homelessness on individuals and communities throughout Los
Angeles County, in 2017 voters approved Measure H to fund services to prevent and
combat homelessness. Throughout the past five years, Arcadia has applied for multiple
grants to prevent and combat homelessness.
On August 7, 2018, the City Council adopted the Five-Year Homelessness Plan. The
Homelessness Plan addresses homelessness through several strategic goals, including
training first responders, strengthening the Coordinated Entry System, enhancing the
Homeless Programs and Services
September 21, 2021

Emergency Shelter System, partnering with other cities to expand rapid rehousing, and
expanding the Countywide Outreach System.
On October 15, 2019, City Council approved and accepted a multijurisdictional
implementation grant with the City of South Pasadena for case management, including a
case manager, motel vouchers, and rapid rehousing in the amount of $292,200. This
partnership was developed out of necessity, as the cities did not meet the individual
service demand threshold to receive funding for homeless services alone. Throughout
2018 and 2019, as it became apparent that the County was unable to address the service
needs of the San Gabriel Valley, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
(“SGVCOG”) took a more proactive and coordinated role in applying for Measure H funds
and revising funding protocols so that monies more fairly flowed to all areas of the County.
On October 20, 2020, the City Council approved and accepted a grant from the SGVCOG
from Measure H funds to address homelessness in the City in the amount of $380,000.
The grant included encampment clean up, first responder outreach, emergency
resources, a full time Housing Navigator, administrative costs, prevention and diversion
funds, and the launch of the Homeless Resource Hub. The Homeless Resource Hub,
located in the Par 3 Golf Course parking lot, provided free showers, laundry facilities, first
aid, meals, job training, and onsite case management one day per week and has been
successful at connecting clients to housing and other services needed to get the
unhoused off of Arcadia streets.
Providing case management and resources has helped individuals experiencing
homelessness; however, housing is still the primary means to help get individuals
experiencing homelessness off the streets. On February 16, 2021, the City Council voted
to submit a letter of intent to examine the possibility of developing a Tiny Shelters pilot
project in Arcadia. At the time, the City Council did not vote to proceed with the project,
but rather just to examine the viability of Tiny Shelters in Arcadia at the Peck Park access
road site. The Tiny Shelters pilot program would study the efficacy of adding 15 or so
shelters, food, restrooms, showers, possible laundry, case management, security, and
other wrap-around services individuals experiencing homelessness need. In addition, it
would be possible to relocate the Resource Hub to the Tiny Shelters site. All program
costs would be paid by grant funds. A staff member would be needed for the project
oversite.
On May 6, 2021, the City of Arcadia held a virtual Community Forum on Homelessness
to discuss the issue more broadly, and to hear community feedback on how to address
the issue holistically in Arcadia. During and after the forum, the City received numerous
questions and emails about the Tiny Shelters pilot program. On May 18, 2021, the City
Council requested that City Manager place an item on a future agenda to discuss pausing
the investigation into the Tiny Shelters pilot program. In addition, the City Council asked
for an agenda item to consider empaneling an advisory committee on homelessness to
gain further insight into community concerns and develop comprehensive
recommendations to address this issue.

At the June 1, 2021, City Council Meeting, the City Council discussed the creation of an
Ad Hoc Homelessness Advisory Committee. After City Council discussion, the City
Council voted to table the Tiny Homes Project, revisit the Advisory Committee at a later
date, and to host a public forum on homelessness within the next 120 days with Mandarin
translation. On June 15, 2021, the City Council approved an amendment in the amount
of $65,000 to the Fiscal Year 2021-22 operating budget for community outreach and a
community forum on homelessness.
DISCUSSION
On July 12, 2021, the City announced a Community Forum on Homelessness to be held
on Saturday, August 7, 2021, at the Arcadia Performing Arts Center. The Forum was
designed to provide educational and useful information on the topic of homelessness in
Arcadia. The Forum was also an opportunity for the Arcadia community to share its ideas
and concerns regarding this important issue. The Forum was streamed live on Zoom, and
was presented in English and Mandarin. Residents were asked to register via Eventbrite
and the City received a total of 434 registrations, 259 in-person and 175 virtually.
Further, a Special Edition of the Arcadia Community Newsletter was delivered to
residents in late July. The 24 page newsletter was presented in English and Mandarin,
and was organized around four major themes: 1. Causes of Homelessness; 2.
Homelessness and the Law; 3. Homeless Programs and Services; and 4. Public Safety.
A Homeless Forum page was also created on the City’s website that provided more
detailed and supplementary information about the issue of homelessness.
The City also embarked on a comprehensive and coordinated social media campaign to
not only announce the Community Forum on Homelessness, but to provide fact based
information about homeless issues and concerns in Arcadia and the greater Los Angeles
County area. From July 12 to August 9, the City created 125 social media posts,
generating 1,769 engagements, and 43,369 impressions. A breakdown by social media
platform is listed below.
Platform Posts Engagements Impressions
Twitter 60 1,672 38,600
Facebook 29 82 n/a
WeChat 25 n/a n/a
Nextdoor 11 15 4,769
Finally, the City also launched the Arcadia Homelessness Program and Perception
Survey (Attachment “A”). The results of the survey were used to create the agenda for
the Forum, in addition to providing staff and the community with a thorough and
comprehensive view of the community thoughts on the issue of homelessness. The
information was presented in detail at the Forum and the results are posted on the City’s
Homeless Forum webpage. Overall, the City received 630 responses to the survey.

Homelessness Program and Perception Survey
On July 26, the City launched the Homelessness Program and Perception Survey. Of the
630 responses received, 96% were Arcadia residents, 84% were 35 years old or older,
73% have lived in Arcadia for 11 or more years, and nearly half of respondents or 47%
identified as Asian/Pacific Islander. The survey consisted of 31 questions and was
designed to solicit feedback from the Arcadia community about homelessness in the City.
The purpose of the survey is to help inform the City and residents on the community’s
preferences for homeless support services.
To highlight some of the key takeaways from the survey, the table below summarizes the
overall perceptions of homelessness in Arcadia and related activities. Please note that
the answers may not add to 100% due to the intentional omission of other responses.
Survey Question Key Response
Homelessness in Arcadia is … 83%, Increasing 0%, Decreasing
The level of homelessness is… 81%, Unacceptable 8%, Acceptable
Biggest concern about homelessness 40%, Crime 23%, Public Safety
I want the City to address causes… 65%, Yes 24%, No
Aware of Martin v. Boise? 44%, Yes 45%, No
Aware of legal camping with no shelter? 50%, Yes 31%, No
Should City conduct independent PIT? 63%, Yes 20%, No
Do you want to spend City resources? 29%, Yes 60%, No
Do you support a shelter in Arcadia? 25%, Yes 69%, No
Analysis of the survey results reveals that the community is aware that homelessness is
increasing and that the level of homelessness they experience in the community is
unacceptable. The biggest concerns generally focus on crime and other public safety
related issues, and the majority of the community would like the City to address the
causes of homelessness in order to stem the tide.
On the issue of camping and enforcement, the Community was evenly split on their
knowledge of Martin v. Boise; however, a majority did respond that they know camping is
permissible if alternative shelters are not available. A large majority of the community
would like the City to conduct its own point-in-time (“PIT”) to better determine the number
of homeless in Arcadia; however, the community does not want to spend City resources
on homeless programs, making efforts largely dependent on grant cycles from the
County, and then for only eligible programs and activities. It is unclear whether the County
would fund an independent PIT conducted by the City.
Finally, an overwhelming majority of respondents do not want a shelter in Arcadia—which
is expected given the sensitivity of the issue—but it creates a contradiction that may
require policy reconciliation. Many of the responses the City received indicated that
residents aren’t necessarily opposed to shelters as a concept but they did not want the
Homeless Programs and Services
September 21, 2021
Page 5 of 9
City to run the facility or were not supportive of the location originally proposed. The
community clearly recognizes that homelessness is increasing at an unacceptable rate
which is likely correlated to increasing concerns about crime and public safety issues.
More proactive enforcement for lower-level offenses, even if the Los Angeles County
District Attorney’s Office refuses to prosecute, can lead to more arrests and a reduction
in the number of homeless in the City; however, once an offender is released and back
on the street, they will likely return to camping in allowable, yet unacceptable locations in
Arcadia. Per the Boise decision, if a City does not offer a shelter bed as an alternative to
camping, then camping must be allowed to occur, and the number of individuals
experiencing homeless will likely continue to grow in view of the community unimpeded.
Arcadians are clear that they want more enforcement to address their public safety
concerns about increasing homelessness, but the single greatest enforcement
mechanism of providing shelters to remove homeless from residential and commercial
population centers is still widely unpopular. As a result, responding to the enforcement
and public safety issues with shelters is likely to generate a negative response from the
community absent further efforts to communicate the utility of shelters in furthering the
community’s enforcement preferences.
Community Forum on Homelessness
The Forum was held on August 7, 2021, beginning at 9:00AM and ending at 5:20PM. Of
the 434 registrations, 94 individuals attended in person and another 157 attended
virtually. The video of the Forum has been posted on the City’s Homeless Forum page at
ArcadiaCA.gov/homeless and has been viewed 89 times. The Forum was organized into
eight different topic areas (listed below) based off of the survey results received, as well
as an Open Forum question and answer session to address any outstanding concerns or
comments from the Arcadia community.

Open Forum
At the Community Form on Homelessness, participants were given ample opportunity to
address their concerns after each topic area. During the Question & Answer portions of
the Forum, staff took notes of not only questions from the community but their concerns
and solutions for addressing homelessness in Arcadia. For simplification, a summary of
the feedback is provided in Attachment “B”. At the Forum, department heads responded
directly to the questions that were asked. Many of the questions, comments, and solutions

highlighted additional areas where the City can take additional steps; however, additional
policy direction is needed.
Grant Funding Opportunities
On August 31, 2021 the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (“SGVCOG”)
released four grant opportunities, or programs, open to applications by cities, for the
period of January 2022 to May 2023. A letter of interest was submitted for the City of
Arcadia for all four program areas in addition to the application for each area on
September 20, 2021. According to the SGVCOG, based on the engagement process
and regional needs assessment, the following four programs were recommended for
funding. Below is a description of the grants and services that are available.
Program 1: Services to Supplement Existing Programs--This program will fill gaps in
service and address specific service needs of the region. Numerous resources exist
through the coordinated entry system (“CES”), County departments, and other service
providers. However, for participants and for City staff, it can be challenging to effectively
and efficiently identify resources for persons experiencing homelessness (“PEH”) and
those at-risk of homelessness. In addition, there are sometimes gaps in resources
available that make it difficult to support all PEH when they are seeking resources. This
program will identify gaps within the existing homeless services system and provide
resources to address those gaps in a more responsive and coordinated manner.
Resources will include but would not be limited to case management services, housing
navigation, medical care, and legal services. No direct funding will be allocated to the
cities, yet the SGVCOG will secure services and pay directly for them. If the City receives
the grant, they will have access to the services for their individuals.
Program 2: Outreach and Services for Hard-to-Reach (“HTR”) Populations--This
program will fill gaps in outreach and service needs of hard-to-reach populations, such as
those who are suffering with substance use disorder and/or mental illness. This program
will pair service provider(s) with city public safety or outreach teams and target more
frequent users of homeless services. These coordinated teams of service providers and
outreach teams will work with those individuals that are harder to help – whether because
of chronic homelessness, substance use disorders or mental illness – by working closely
with them to connect them to the right services and treatment and to help place them in
long-term care and treatment facilities. The purpose of the program is to provide the
highest level of engagement and support to those individuals who need the most
assistance. The program will work in close coordination with the LA County Department
of Mental Health (“DMH”) and TriCity Mental Health. No direct funding will be allocated to
the cities for the program. The SGVCOG will procure one or more service provider
contracts, which will be centrally managed by the SGVCOG with little or no administrative
burden for participating cities. This more intensive approach to outreach services is more
costly and requires significant engagement and cooperation from cities. As such, a limited
number of cities/cohorts will be able to participate, and each will be required to bring
resources to the program. For example, participating cities should have active public
Homeless Programs and Services
September 21, 2021
Page 7 of 9
safety or outreach teams that are reasonably familiar with the persons experiencing
homelessness within their cities and must be willing to assign specific staff members to
conduct outreach with the selected service provider(s).
Program 3: Mobile Crisis Response Program—This program will provide an alternative
mobile crisis response to 911 calls related to homelessness and/or mental health crises.
This program will be integrated within a city’s emergency response network, diverting
appropriate 911 calls to an alternative crisis response team that could respond to the
individual in crisis. This program will serve individuals that are actively experiencing a
crisis. This program will build upon the alternative crisis response study that is currently
being completed. The SGVCOG will procure one or more service provider contracts,
which would be centrally managed by the SGVCOG. The regional program contract(s)
will be managed by the SGVCOG, and services would be provided at a cohort or city
level. The size of service area would be largely determined by the volume of 911 calls.
The program will require a high level of commitment from cities, as the program will need
to be integrated into the emergency response network of the city. The City is expected to
work with the SGVCOG and the LA County Department of Mental Health (“DMH”) or
TriCity Mental Health to determine funding availability and alternatives. The program will
require additional funds from cities to participate, particularly because the program will
serve not only PEH but also anyone experiencing a mental health crisis. The funding
amount needed from cities has yet to be determined, once the SGVCOG can review the
applications then they will notify to the participating cities of what will be expected to in
order participate.
Program 4: City Programs—The final funding program will address city- and cohort-
specific needs. The intent of this program is for cities or cohorts of cities to implement
new or existing programs that are not otherwise provided under the other funding
categories. The funding available for this program is $125,000 for a single City
application. Arcadia applied for one full time case manager ($105,000 for 18 months)
and $20,000 for Emergency Funds. This will help secure one full time case manager for
Arcadia till May 2023 and $20,000 for emergencies, if the program grant is received.
These programs aim to serve a range of populations and to allow various options for cities
to participate with little to no administrative burden, to participate more actively on a
regional basis, and/or to develop more intensive city-or cohort-specific programs. The
SGVCOG asked for cities to prioritize the four program areas of the grants, in case they
receive too many applications and they cannot grant all the cities with all of their wants,
they could try to match the cities with their highest priority. Arcadia ranked our application
in the following order of priority: City Programs, Services to Supplement Existing
Programs, Mobile Crisis Response Program and Outreach and Services to the Hard to
Reach Populations.
At this time, the SGVCOG staff anticipates funding will be split evenly between the four
programs. However, the formal letter of interest and application process will determine
the level of interest for each program and staff will adjust funding for each program as
Homeless Programs and Services
September 21, 2021

needed. As in the previous round of funding, the SGVCOG will execute memorandums
of agreement (“MOA”) with participating cities outlining the expectations of both parties.
Next Steps: Policy Considerations
Based off of staff’s internal review and discussion of the questions, comments, and
solutions presented at the Forum, four general themes have emerged for the City Council
to consider in terms of policy considerations about how to address the community’s
concerns about homelessness in Arcadia. These include:
1. More Direct Enforcement – This includes enforcing the City’s Anti-Camping
Ordinance, and other laws related to minor crimes to the fullest extent practical
under the law.
2. Expanded Homeless Services – This includes making more services available
for individuals experiencing homelessness, similar to those provided at the
Homeless Resource Hub, but also include expanded mental health and drug
treatment programs, if available.
3. Better Data and Tracking – The City has taken significant strides to better track
calls for service related to homelessness in Arcadia but there is more that can be
done to provide greater accountability and transparency about the true social and
financial costs of homelessness.
4. Additional Funding and Better County Coordination – City funding for
homeless programs is largely dependent upon grant cycles, and awards are
usually on an annual basis. More efforts should be considered on policy reforms
at the County level to address the disconnect in services, grant cycles, and the
real needs of communities in real time.
Based on the forgoing, staff is recommending that the City Council provide further policy
direction on homeless programs and services in Arcadia. The discussion tonight will serve
as the basis for homeless programing and other related efforts. Any further action will be
brought back to the City Council for further public input and deliberation.
FISCAL IMPACT
Depending on the direction provided by the City Council, staff will return with cost
estimates of any proposed action.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed actions do not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), based on Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can
Homeless Programs and Services
September 21, 2021
Page 9 of 9
be seen with certainty that they will have no impact on the environment. Thus, these
matters are exempt under CEQA.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this project is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and provide direction on homeless
programs and services.

8/3/2021 9:06 PM
15 I think Homeless Res ource Hub(HRH) is the wors t ideas that the City has , It will just
encourage more and more people join the homeles s c rowds because the homeless don't need
to pay rent and t hey work only if they want t o and less people will be paying taxes. It will not
help the homeless but it will only creat e more and more crimes in the Cit y .
8/3/2021 4:35 PM
16 I cons ider homeless problem to be related to a variet y of is s ues, unemployment, drug us e,
mental health, jail release.
8/3/2021 4:21 PM
17 It gathers the homeless group one day in a week. Then they end up roaming around in the
county park and the neighborhood in the city for the rest of the week. It does n't solve any
problem, but cause more problems to the loc al businesses and res idenc e. The money s hould
be s pent to s olv e t he homeless problem, not creating more problems for all.

8/3/2021 9:38 AM
21 We do hav e to do s omething to help those homeles s people, but we can not do that forever,

23 Gives a place where people c an get help near where they s tay.8/2/2021 6:39 PM
24 Homeles s often do not want to ac c es s s upport even when it is offered. Often this is because
plac es to stay c ome with rules they do not want to follow or they do not hav e the lev el of
mental health to follow the rules .
8/2/2021 6:00 PM
25 The biggest unk nown to me is how does Homeless Res ource get the homeles s to participate

8/2/2021 5:32 PM
26 Provides v aluable res ources in one place to help them navigate t hrough options to help the

28 Very nec essary to help unhoused individuals get bac k up on t heir feet (given the lack of shelter

32 For the majority of homeles s, it fails to addres s the primary c aus e of homeles s ness (mental
illnes s and addiction). It is v aluable for the very few who are simply down on their luck and
homeles s NOT by choice - but groups like Union Rescue Mis s ion are a better source of
support t han any government funded/managed option.

should be far from res idential and school areas . You said the primary driver of homeles sness

131 A lot of homeles s just wants money f or drugs and alc ohol and are not ready to c hange yet .
They need to want the change, to get a job, to hold down a job, otherwis e no amount of help
will ac tually get them out of homelessnes s .
7/28/2021 5:19 PM
132 Mos t of the homeles s are c reated by drugs and mental issues. They should not be allowed in
our city limits to caus e pos s ible harm to our k ids and family. These tiny home should be
subsidized by each city but out to other remote areas that will not caus e danger to those whom
tried to help t hem.
7/28/2021 5:12 PM

the hub, endangering the girls ' s chool in that area, as police were c alled on at least one
occasion.
140 Allowing people to live in horrible conditions is inhumane. They need to go to pic k a shelter to
stay at or be plac ed in one. That sounds harsh, but seeing how so many are very mentally ill
and allowed t o liv e in filth is not okay. Everyone needs a plac e to s tay and get help. No one
should be allowed to st ay on the street.
7/28/2021 4:05 PM
141 People experienc ing homeles s ness need s omewhere to go. Those who want to help need
plac es lik e t his t o direct t hem to get bas ic needs. You c an't get out of homeless nes s without
having bas ic needs met.
7/28/2021 3:02 PM
142 I work for a c los eby c ity which suffers bigger homelessness problem. Mos t of homeles s don't
want to live in the s helter provided by the city as mos t of them s uffer from mental illnes s or
substance/alc ohol abuse. They don't want housing. They want money to spend and their
freedom to go/live anywhere they want. My c onclus ion is the homeless nes s issue is not about
lodging.

175 I believ e it is helping t he right people get the right help. Mental Illness people gett ing the help
they need. Drug addic tion people gett ing the help they need, etc. It is not jus t putting homeless
people in one place to get them of f the s treet. I mean that is good if that is what we can do for
the moment. I starting to understand that mos t or many want to be homeles s, and they are
dangerous. Now, I know I am jus t saying this without being there and seeing all of this
firs thand, BUT the homeles s s it uation is out of control and this what I think can be done. Or
can it?

7/26/2021 2:27 PM
180 All citites need to do it all together, or the cities doing it will at tract all the homeless . Look at
California, it attrac t homeles s f rom all ov er t he nation due to its friendly policy. And the
Aracadia hub, the mos t used s erv ices is the landry, look at the data, employment s erv ices
was only off ered onc e.

182 it is going to the wrong direc tion. If the gov ernment wants to help them, please pay by y our
salaries, not our hard earned money. Our taxes should go into the right plac es , like educat ion.
Mos t of homeless people c hoose the life they want. They will only take it for granted. It is like
circling. They ask for more while you giv e more.
7/26/2021 1:51 PM
183 It gives t hem a t emporary relief but not permanent relief f or some 7/26/2021 1:51 PM

39 There's plenty of s pace to the eas t of Arc adia near the industrial areas of Duarte and Irwindale
that would be us eful. I'm s ure t he City of Arcadia can work with its fellow neighbors in f inding
situations , partnerships in assis ting homeless individuals . In all hones ty its ashame that s ome
Arcadians feel the need to label indiv iduals as nuisance and unwelcoming.

291 It needs to be somewhere that is c lose to resources and is saf e for its residents (unhous ed
folks). As someone who is housed, and not in Arcadia, it does n't matter what my preferenc e is .
Please mak e s ure you are also doing outreach to t he individuals that are liv ing in your c ity,
which *includes* y our unhous ed residents and not jus t the ones t hat own propert y and
businesses.

well serv e to ‘test’ a c omprehensiv e, state funded, c omplex that serv es all homeless with
safety and security in mind. It would be c loser to serv ices and trans portation t o meet their
needs rather than placing homeless out in furthes t points away from resources, as is c urrently
the Thurs day s olut ion. Get every thing centraliz ed and provide eas y, low c ost acc es s to police,
medical and transportation for homeless.

19 The best s olution is hous ing. Is it humane to camp in plac es that do not have hygiene access.
When y ou think of camping, you think of ac c es s to res trooms, showers , water, plac es to cook

116 Acc ording to the Special Edition News letter on Homeles sness in Arcadia, it reported that
individuals experiencing homelessness have inc reas ed by 381% since the f irst PIT count in
2015. It noted that “part of t his inc reas e is due to changes in the methodology in how the PIT
is counts as well as the City ’s more activ e inv olv ement in the c ount.” Question #1: What is the
change in methodology in the PIT count? Ques tion #2: What does it mean that the City has
tak en a more ac tiv e involvement in the count in the pas t few y ears ?

direct on what Arcadia’s respons ibility is to addres s homelessnes s t hat State and County
leaders hip fail at and limit BS discussions around unk nown variables and unproven fac ts as
pres ented ad naus ea in c ommunity forums . Ex ample: when the Direc tor of t he union Station
talked about helping a homeless woman her driv ers licens e - and c learly he was very proud of
this effort - it was a failure in the meeting as that s hould not be a ‘meas ure of s uccess’ for
addressing homelessnes s . you need to dev elop concise meas urements for determining
succes s - or failure - of any s olution you implement; the measures of suc c ess need to address
the very specific reas ons s urrounding homelessnes s .

10 Since 2018 Arc adia adopts five-year homeless plan, the homeless population inc rease by
700%, while Sierra Madre and Temple City, Monrovia and other c ities either lower or only small
inc reas e. This illustrates our plan is a disas ter. Our City is too small to be c os t ef fec tiv e to
address this huge problem. LA county already increased sales tax to address homeles s issue
and should do it with large scale assis tanc e. The City should put residents interest to higher
priority.

12 I dont think Arc adia is fit to hold Homeles s ness due to the v alue of Arc adia and its appeal
among other cities in LA c ounty. It is small and dont have enough spac e to house them. We
cannot trust that they can mak e their area c lean as what we see at 91006. I f we use a syst em
like prison s ystem where inmate with good record (in this cas e bac k ground c hec k and their
effort t o c lean their s pace etc ) get to be in it . Other homeless nes s friends that dont make it in
would loiter around to meet them t hat made it in, litter, and c ommit crimes. If we double the
penalty for them (as a law) the jail may not be hav e enough v ac ancy for thes e people anyway.

34 I think it is a difficult situation. Serving homeless families s hould be a priority for Arc adia.
Individual homeles sness is a complicated problem. When CA closed most of its mental health
ins titutions the homeles s problem inc reas ed s ignificantly. In working with the homeless I have
learned not all homeless are able to tak e adv antage of the servic es offered. This is for a wide
variety of reasons, but mos t of ten link ed to trauma and mental health whic h is oft en
exacerbat ed by drug and alc ohol is s ues. Adding servic es and s helters isn't alway s the answer

41 with a small amount of ingenuity and effort, our city can easily conv ince the homeless to

never work . The primary issue is ment al illnes s and drugs - but, I'm afraid I just wast ed my

people bec oming a homeless, we feel sorry for them. But by resolving t he homeless nes s, it
requires k nowing from the root cause and establish a long term, effective and const ruc tive
syst ems . It needs to involv e a higher Governments (Federal and State Gov ernment s..).
Bec aus e there are 3 ty pes of homeles s ness - chronic , transitional and episodic, so you need
to distinguis h whic h type of homeless you are f acing/dealing with firs t before knowing how to

的事情就是典型，耗时最长的阶段就是形成共识的阶段。其实亚市的微房项目申请已经是五位市
议员全体通过的共识，可能让市议员们没有料到的是以华裔居民为主的强烈反对之声！坚决反对
在亚市附近建游民临时微房！我理解，这个坚决是不可动摇的坚决！也就是说再学习、再讨论也
没有妥协的可能，没有达成共识的可能！等这个议题再次提出来时，两位华裔市长会处于两难的
选择… 我个人觉得华人在涉及这个问题时有如下的潜意识。 （1）游民人群的成分中亚裔极少，
华裔更是基本没有！想想看，如果亚市可见的游民中有一部分是华人，我们的同胞情会使很多华
人伸出援手去帮助他们，无论是充分利用政府资源还是捐款捐物还是提供工作机会，帮助他们尽
快脱离无家可归的困境。 （2）在华人的传统生活观念里，以自食其力为荣，以不劳而获、好吃
懒做、游手好闲为耻！虽然亚市的绝大多数华人房主没有经历过临近绝路的困境，但我们也耳闻
目染过许许多多的南飞北漂的辛酸和经历过在海外打拼的艰辛。我们移民的经历亚市的主流社区
居民和华人二代是没有体验过的。 （3）华人普遍认为，美国的市场经济提供给愿意吃苦耐劳人
非常多的机会，再加上各种福利补贴，吃住并没有那么困难，疾病或毒品酒精成瘾应该也有根据
收入至免费的治疗。加州获得通过的各种提案已经为照顾游民提供了充分的资金，可是如果越来
越多的人加入到游民的大军中，势必造成恶性循环。 （5）华人的家庭亲情和朋友之间的友情纽
带比较强，如果有人有临时的困难，投亲靠友是首选。 （6）华人讲究勤俭持家，也教育子女未
雨绸缪，有能力时赚钱多储蓄为了不致于长期坐吃山空，沦落到无家可归的境地。 （7）因为各
自生活在不同的“圈子”里，华人与其他种族的游民现状和根源无法有深入的了解，对他们“没有人
管”也是百思不得其解，只是感觉这些人生活在“观光区”实在是给美国抹黑！ （8）亚市的华人居
民用自己勤劳辛苦换来了优美的居住环境和优秀的学区，非华裔游民们的到来无疑带来了对社区
环境和治安的破坏。 （9）在很多华人的眼里，政府征收花费了不可思议的大笔税款用于解决游
民问题，但扯来扯去、成效甚微，政府、包括立法机构实在是太浪费、太无能、太无权威了！所
作所为或者是无所作为令华人难以理解！ （10）至于我们华人的子女或亚市的二代年轻华人家
庭对这些事怎么想，高中有部分学生有表达立场，是否能代表主体的意见还不明朗。但有一点可
以肯定，他们对父辈的经历无法感同身受，而不同的教育体系和政法体制对人思想的影响根深蒂
固。 还是我个人的看法，如果华人们能够理性地与主流社区居民和领袖们沟通，尤其是让他们理
解我上面提到的一些背景，达到共识就不是没有可能。 我个人觉得亚市目前无家可归人员并没有
大规模的群居，所以不是非常严重的问题。以市府出面或社区非盈利组织出面申请主导试点微房
的建立和管理我是支持的，这比什么都不做要好。我现在有两个问题，（1）周围城市都做了些
什么？（2）市府对 Hous ing Element 2021-2029需要进一步的解释，这与游民问题有很大关
系！尤其是“1,102 v ery-low income units”（极低收入住房）是什么概念？老年公寓算吗？现在亚
市哪一处住房是“very -low inc ome units ”？也就是多少租金算是“very-low income units”？如果低
收入家庭甚至于无家可归的游民申请，政府会给补助多少？这些新建的房屋是否由政府出资兴建
而亚市必须找到可以兴建的地点？

108 I saw an internet v ideo once of a deer mother c hase down a dog minding it's own business a
bloc k away just because she had her babies around. The deer trampled the dog and almost
killed it for no reas on. I found it amus ing, thinking about how parental instincts c an be s trong in
the animal world. Now that I am a parent, I understand thos e aggres s ive animal instinc ts. I will
protec t my own c hildren at any c os t. The manif estation of my aggres s ive ins tincts is an
absolute intolerance for any c rime, lawles s ness, homelessnes s , etc . I don't care where they
go, just not anywhere near my children. I just want them gone. I don't need to be educat ed on
the laws and the politic al realities of this citymstate/country. I didn't buy a hous e here to bus y
my s elf with the intric acies of public polic y. I bought a house here to raise a family in a s afe
environment. We do have a c onundrum in that we need to build a s helter in order to enforc e
anti camping laws. The problem is, this is n't about logic anymore. I just don't want a shelter in
my town. Politic s is oft en irrational, and this is one of those issues t hat brings out the irrat ional
aggressiv e paternal instinct s in me. I will not tolerate it in any form.

111 Tiny Homes invites more homeless to Arcadia. There is no guarantee that Tiny Homes will
help in their rec overy. Tiny Homes is a wast e of tax pay ers ' money. Metro bec ame a quick and
easy method of free travel from city to c ity. More funds s hould be used t o s top these free
rides. Start by c reating camping s it e numbers at Legg Lak e and a mailbox number t o be us ed
for work. There should also be a fee (used to f und clean up and patrol) to use the campground.
The city could provide meals to a lower pric e via meal trucks. Nothing should be free, if it is
free why work for it. If they want to recover from being homeless , they will utilize the resources
already available to them. No one can force them to rec ov er, they will have to want to recover.

homeles s indiv idual along the s idewalk of Huntingt on Drive. It was terrif ying. Now, there is
homeles s indiv idual that c amps out behind our offic e building on a regular bas is, and us es the
planter or sewage at the bac k as his restroom. It's extremely disgus ting having t o walk by t he

having the choic e to live freely and unhous ed, but when t here is no ac c ountabilit y for thes e

working towards supporting t he needs of the taxpay ing residents as well as supporting the

between the Federal, State, and City res ourc es , there are opportunities to s upport thos e

202 City needs t o to hire competent individuals who have the city res idents’ bes t interest s in mind
and tak e a firm stance on removing homeless nes s from this city and protec ting it s resident s.
The city has already done a poor job at crime management in the past few years and s afety
concerns grow daily
7/28/2021 12:50 PM
203 I believ e t he direction is wrong. We need to coordinate with the neighbor cities and do not deal
with this alone
7/28/2021 12:28 PM
204 The reas on people work hard and s pend a lot of money to live in cities like Arcadia is becaus e
of safety, great schools, and apprec iat ing home v alues . Homelessness or lack of taking c are
of t he problem c ould lead to more crime or drug us e and des troy wonderful cities lik e Arc adia.
We don’t want that !

206 I st rongly oppos e t he tiny houses plan in Arc adia as it will cause an unsafe city where I have
been living more than 50 years .
7/28/2021 11:57 AM
207 我们全家都反对Tiny Shelter和Homeless res ourc e HUB，希望City 找到更好的解决方案。7/28/2021 11:00 AM
208 Homeles sness is not the problem! It is the sympt om of the problem! The problem is drug and
alc ohol abuse and mental illnes s . Stic k ing a piece of plywood ov er their heads does not solve
the problem; it just att rac ts more. Why would we c ontinue with a "s olution" t hat has proven not
to work everywhere it has been tried? Billions have been spent on homeless s helters in the
las t few y ears and we hav e more homeless than others. Get a clue!!

209 Against tiny shelters in Arc adia 7/28/2021 10:23 AM
210 In regards to the homeless I would rec ommend Arcadia follow the way of Switz erland. A one
way bus or train ticket and s ome money.
7/28/2021 8:24 AM
211 More and more homeless people are in Arcadia. It als o s eems to be an is s ue throughout LA
county. There is no easy solution. Each individual has a different reason to as why they are
homeles s . Whether it be mental healt h, money, drugs , and s o on. We c an c ontinue to creat e
homeles s programs or small hous es or shelters. But t hese feel lik e 'band-aid' s olutions . Thes e
solutions just entice more to come to the c ity of Arcadia for help. If we house all the homeles s
in Arcadia, what happens when more show up nex t y ear. Do we continue to house them all? If
we put out any free services , more are just going to c ome here from other parts of LA. Stop
encouraging more to come Arc adia. We need to begin to disc ourage the homeles s coming
here. I may sound like an as shole but I'm jus t tired of seeing s o many of the homeles s people
walking around our parks and st reets. I feel unsaf e and I am sure many c itizens of Arc adia feel
unsafe. So what about our rights?
7/28/2021 8:04 AM
212 What is the long term plan? If we build a shelter, that will encourage more unhous ed to move to
Arcadia. Venice Beac h and San Franc isco have inc reas ed unhoused despite inv esting large
amounts of money. We don't hav e the res ourc es to solv e unhoused for the entire areas.
7/28/2021 7:55 AM
213 What I am seeing is other cities are trying to twis t things around and lied to res idents in order
to get passed on tiny s helters or Hous ing Element to get it in plac e s o t hat this could s atisf y
the law. We want trans parenc y and clear communic ation to residents .

234 请政府帮助减少市里的无家可归者，保障市民安全。7/27/2021 11:04 AM
235 Thank s f or your efforts in reaching out to the community on the homeles sness is s ue. Arcadia
res idents came from many different backgrounds . Many grown up in China, like my s elf . I try to
understand the homeles s ness situation using the Chines e t raditional v alues and cultures, for
example, self-disc ipline, v alue education, family and f riend bonds, s ocial and family
res ponsibilities, v ia hard-work ing to earn a liv ing, financial independence and savings... All
thes e deep-rooted traditions probably mainly explained that only a very tiny fract ion of
homeles s people are Asian Americ ans. I also see the powerless state/county governments in
solv ing the problem, but rather making the situation more c omplic ated and out -of-control.
Any ways, the US had fought meaningless wars in other countries; we are f ighting the natural
dis as ters caused by human's own behav iors. These are very expensive wars! We then should
solv e the mas s ive homeles s problem in our back y ard like we start to fight another expens ive
war. Well, looks lik e if there are not enough s helters our city cannot force people not to sleep
on the public ground. I cannot think of any solutions rather than some k ind of temporary shelter
for them + supporting servic es + city police enforc ement. The big root caus es are too big to
address by our city. Our Chines immigrants should pay for the war of fighting homelessnes s
while sharing our v alues of family and social res ponsibilities. I think the city 's original tiny
shelter idea is better than do-nothing. I s upport our c ity !

239 I underst and that there is a balance due to the law that t ies Arcadia PD's hands when there is
no homeless shelter available and allow c amping in Arcadia. The question for me bec omes
how Arcadia deals with what happens with the people at the temporary s helters afterwards and
if they are full, how does prev ent people from c amping in the Arc adia? Other cities hav e tried
the temporary shelters and it has not solv ed the problem, only creates a temporary solution
that creates more problem. I understand that this is a wider is sue with the law and als o with
the way that LA count y and the CA only want to throw money at the problem and continue to
encourage more homeles s to come to LA and CA. How does a c ity deal with the heavy hand of
government f orc ing it's rules on smaller cities?

240 我很尊敬我們的議員，政府，但是這件事我不得不出聲,我真的要請您們三思..因為我們不是高中
生，喊喊口號，不用管日後年年要付高額的房產稅..還有萬一撐不下去如何收拾善後.賭上自己社
區的安全和財務, 一旦真的成立，這真是變成噩夢，因為這些Homeless 會源源不絕的湧入
Arcadia, 充滿我們的社區; "幫助人" 和 “去作保證人"是不同的..，我們不認識這些從四方八達來的

人，我們也不是加州政府，不應該讓1個City 居民來承担這些，作保證人，要負責這些人生活，
還要怕他們傷害人，到時天價的賠償金想想都頭痛，我覺得最好的辦法就是維持現狀 ～ (1) 嚴格
執法,重要區白天不可設帳篷, 允許在橋下搭帳篷 有個廁所，簡單洗手間, 可提供一個收信住址,
協助他 們收信..申請工作.福利. 定期列冊追蹤協助可協助的, 危險人物想法驅逐離開. (2) 請警員
定期巡邏這些人, 用這個方法控制住流浪者增加 的速度, 也讓社區維持基本安全. (3) 維持現行讓
他們洗衣洗澡的福利. 這是我們可幫他們的 (4) 不贊成Tiny hous e, 作保證人責任及影响很大，要
三思~

246 The tiny home project should be permanently s topped . public s afety is number one issue the
city council should c are about . There are so many Asian hate crime inc idences committed in
New York and San Franc isco . even one case in Pasadena over the T.V. news. We do not
want to inv it e problems. Look what happen in Venic e beac h.. c rime , rape ,fire ,stabbing.. it is

251 No Arcadia resident is homeless. All of these homeless persons are from out of the area.
Period. Quote “ since the adv ent of the Gold line homeless has gone up in Arcadia” t his comes
from Arc adia city counc il. Yet on t he other side of the mouth it is said homeless in Arc adia are
dis placed Arcadia res idents, I do not believe that they are dis plac ed Arc adia res idents period.

homeles s are c oming into Arcadia thank s t o the gold line. Why doesn’t San Gabriel, or
Alhambra have t his is s ue? How does enabling help solv e the problem?
7/26/2021 5:26 PM
256 Number 1 and most importantly, Thai survey should only be for Arcadia residents . If this c an
be filled out by anyone, then this survey should not be used! Arc adia is a small c ity. We c an
have join partnerships with neighbor city regarding to emergency shelters. We do not need to
build any tiny homes in Arc adia.
7/26/2021 5:09 PM
257 市政府和市议会应该给全体市民和住家发调查表了解市民对无家可归问题的态度，不能只有市政
府和市议会几个人来决定关乎阿凯迪亚未来这么大的事情。市议员在竞选时为何可以登门造访市
民，而现在关乎阿凯迪亚未来的大事就不能上门调查市民意见吗？

county, or the state, needs to set up programs and as sis tance addressing the different
groups/reas ons why people are homeles s . Res ources (money, property /t emporary housing,
trained professionals , job training, life management skills , etc .) need to be made av ailable. We
have been paying a 0.25% c ounty s ales tax s ince 2017 and nothing seems to hav e improv ed.
Politic ians jus t try to slap a band aid on the is s ue with temporary fix es. A t emporary fix only
helps people who are temporarily in a bad spot and just need to get on their feet again. I t
doesn't seem lik e any thing is being done to giv e t he appropriate help to t hose who REALLY
need it.
261 让游民离开阿凯迪亚，维护本市安全 7/26/2021 4:30 PM
262 Do not want homeless shelters in Arcadia. If big cities lik e Los Angeles , San Franc isco have
plagued with homeles s is sues for more than a dec ade and it only get worsen. What make city
councils think that a small c ity like Arcadia with lac k of res ources can handle homeles s
iss ues ??

267 This is a sev ere problem for all Americans, not jus t Arcadians. To put it directly, if we share
the respons ibility for tak ing in t he homeless with LA County, this will just be one more good
city ruined in the c ounty. I do sympathize with those who are homeless or those who are at
high ris k of being homeles s but I t hink the government needs t o direct more long term
res ourc es to solv e the problem s uch as s oc ial s ervices, healt h c are and couns eling ac c ess,
improving educ ation, and affordable housing. I don't s ee how putting homeless people in
Arcadia will help matters except ruin the saf ety and look of a good c ity. Look at Venic e Beach.
Look at Berk eley. Nice, c ultural cities s truggling with a mas siv e homelessness crisis. With
what the gov ernment is c urrently doing, why don't y ou just build a new city f or them in Cent ral
or North CA-t here is plenty of spac e t here to build housing and city resources. Why t arget
perfec tly fine cities? We need long term s olutions that won't c ome at the ex pens e of other
people!!

274 請政府不只考慮無家可歸的問題，請考慮市裡大多數居民的意願。如果一個城市沒有吸引人來的
原因，就不會有這些人一直進來。Arc adia政府一直以縣/洲政府規定為由，告訴居民們為什麼必
需得做這做那。San Marino為什麼就沒有遊民問題？他們的城市也同樣受縣/洲政府政策規定影
響。請亞市政府好好研究學習一下，做事靈活變通，解決事情的方法有很多種
