This is a letter addressed to California Senator Henry Stern, Assembleymember Richard Bloom, LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and Malibu Mayor Skylar Peak.
Where there is a will, there is a way. I believe in you and that, by working together, you can implement a possible short-term solution and location for food distribution and services for our homeless population.Â
Can the City of Malibu work with LA County and the state to open up the old courthouse to give local churches and nonprofits a safe place to serve food and to have a place to meet with clients to provide homeless services? Shuttle bus times to shelters can be coordinated with food distribution. Please note, City of Malibu has already used set-aside library funds to hire a public safety officer at the library. Please understand, this is not a permanent solution, but it is a good short-term solution until another safe location can be identified.Â
Thank you for your dedication and service, and for hosting the third Connect Day in Malibu to connect homeless people with services.Â
