Corona city officials say their systems-oriented approach is showing positive results with a 60% drop in the number of unsheltered homeless residents since 2019.
Corona city leaders and homeless advocates celebrated the grand opening of a new 40-bed shelter known as the Harrison Hope Center.At the same time, they acknowledge that to help address homelessness will require much more than a place to stay, and they said their systems-oriented approach is showing positive results with a 60% drop in the number of unsheltered homeless residents since 2019.
Before the opening of the shelter, the city was already renting motel rooms to get the chronically homeless off the streets. "Literally, 52 of our chronically-street homeless were moved either from our streets or in our motel program right into housing.""While at the end of the day what works is housing, your shelter system is only as good as your outreach workers who bring folks to you," said Larry Haynes, the CEO of Mercy House, which will operate the Harrison Hope Center.& Psychological Evaluation Team as well as social workers from the city's contracted partner City Net.
"We have a lot of people on the streets that wouldn't otherwise want to come to a shelter unless they can bring their pets, so we wanted to remove that barrier," said Roper.
