RESOLUTION NUMBER 7253
(CCS)
(City Council Series)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA MONICA SUPPORTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SHELTER FOR HOMELESS PERSONS
ON VETERANS' ADMINISTRATION PROPERTY
WHEREAS, the County of Los Angeles is reported to have the
largest population of homeless people in the United States; and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Monica and other communities on
the west side of Los Angeles County attract a large proportion of
the homeless population due to both the availability of open
spaces and public facilities, and the relative lack of services
for the homeless in other areas of the county; and
WHEREAS, the cities of Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Beverly
Hills, Culver city, and Los Angeles are concerned with providing
adequate shelter and services to the growing number of homeless
men, women, and children in their midst; and
WHEREAS, Veterans' Administration property appears to be an
appropriate location for the provision of shelter and services
for the homeless because it is appropriately zoned, is located on
a major bus route, and provides easy access to veterans'
Administration services, the Federal Building, and the UCLA
Medical Center;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS;
- 1 -
"

SECTION 1. The City of Santa Monica supports the concept of
developing a non-profit entity to lease land from the Veterans'
Administration, to establish on that land a shelter and services
center for the homeless, and to seek financial support for the
center from private foundations and local municipalities.
SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Santa Monica
authorizes the city Manager to cooperate with officials of other
local cities to further investigate the feasibility of
establishing the shelter and services center.
SECTION 3. The city Clerk shall certify to the adoption of
this resolution and thenceforth and thereafter the same shall be
in full force and effect.
Approved as to form:
