Statement from the City of Malibu
Wednesday, November 8, 2017
Malibu City officials participated in a meeting on Monday, November 6, 2017 with representatives from SOS (Standing on Stone), Community Action Resource Team, Malibu United Methodist Church, Malibu Presbyterian Church, the Malibu Task Force on Homelessness, The People Concern and the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department to discuss issues surrounding homelessness in Malibu.
This was the first in a series of ongoing meetings with all of the community groups who are working on homelessness in Malibu to share information and coordinate efforts.
The goal is to develop an approach that ensures compassion, services and safety for the entire community.
No decisions were made at the meeting. All parties agreed to gather more information and come back to continue the constructive dialogue after the Thanksgiving holiday.
The City is holding a public presentation during the City Council meeting on Monday, November 13, on the City's efforts to address homelessness, including the efforts of the Malibu Task Force on Homelessness and The People Concern outreach workers, public safety and law enforcement issues surrounding homelessness, and the development of a Homelessness Strategic Plan.
