Los Angeles County recently conducted a series of three Pathway Home operations in Palmdale that helped 121 people surviving in makeshift desert encampments and dilapidated RVs move into safe interim housing, where they will receive supportive services and other resources to help them transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing.
“I’m proud of the collaborations that made these Pathway Home encampment resolutions happen,” Supervisor Kathryn Barger said. “Every Pathway Home project is unique and requires its own combination of resources to meet the needs of the people experiencing homelessness. In this case, the County and city of Palmdale came together to remove RV encampments by conducting extensive outreach, offering interim housing on the spot to those who accept housing offers, and leveraging support from the Sheriff’s Department to properly dispose of RVs so they aren’t reused in the future. In the fight against homelessness, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.”
