Orange County looking for land for possible homeless shelter (ocregister.com)

 

Orange County will begin compiling a list of locations where it could open another emergency homeless shelter after Supervisor Shawn Nelson on Tuesday directed staff to find county-owned properties that could accommodate that function.

Nelson’s direction comes six months after the county opened its first year-round emergency homeless shelter, located in Santa Ana, and about a month before it plans to open its first year-round “multi-service” shelter, in Anaheim, which will focus on finding the homeless permanent housing rather than just sheltering them temporarily.

There were around 4,452 street homeless in Orange County in 2015, up 5 percent from two years prior, according to biannual counts.
