DATE/TIME: June 16, 2023 / 6:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
INCIDENT: Outreach Operation
LOCATION: City of Chino Hills
SUMMARY: On Friday, June 16, 2023, from 06:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the Community Service & Reentry Division, Homeless Outreach Proactive Enforcement (H.O.P.E.) team conducted a quality-of-life operation in city of Chino Hills. The goal of the operation was to connect with unhoused residents and offer them services such as housing, medical and mental health treatment, and other social services. The H.O.P.E. team located three encampments and spoke with five individuals experiencing homelessness. Five were provided with referrals to programs for assistance and two were provided with direct assistance. The team contacted a senior Army veteran. The veteran met a specific criteria for a homeless resource provider. The veteran was accepted and bridged-housed in the providers program and is currently working towards his own apartment.
The team was able to provide this focused outreach due to Senate Bill 170, which provided funding to the Department to support ongoing operations of this nature. The H.O.P.E. team and other aligned resources will continue operations of this type throughout the county over the next several years.
If you know of persons experiencing homelessness who are in need of services, please contact the H.O.P.E. team at 909-387-0623 or [email protected]
