KHTS Radio Santa Clarita Radio – Santa Clarita News
Senator Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, announced SB 31, which would compassionately clear encampments and connect homeless individuals with services to break the cycle of chronic homelessness.
“California’s homelessness crisis is spiraling out of control,” Wilk said. “Many individuals are trapped in a cycle of drug abuse and mental illness without getting the help they need.”
This crisis has now spread to locations outside of our schools, parks and childcare centers, putting our most vulnerable at risk, according to Wilk.
But Wilk feels there is hope.
“I am proud to introduce Senate Bill 31, which will compassionately clear encampments and connect individuals with desperately needed services to break the cycle of chronic homelessness,” Wilk said. “This bill balances accountability with compassion and is a critical step towards ending California’s homelessness crisis.”
Wilk is asking for support in this effort, by signing his petition.
Doing so, you will join Wilk in urging policymakers to support SB 31 and help ensure communities thrive.

A bigger broom?
Mr. Wilk,
Until there are more beds in mental hospitals the homeless problem will NOT be solved. Most shelters will Not accept those using drugs or other substance. Sad to say some of these homeless are our most honored
Vets. The VA needs to step up and address and really help.
Scott,
This bill does nothing to stop or slow vagrancy (oops homelessness). It only moves them to new locations.
Try writing a bill that would require drug enhancement sentencing for those arrested (you know, like gun enhancement sentencing) so these people can be put in controlled environments (like jail) for a long enough time to dry them out for good then you can enact your charity ( I mean services).
Mark, Agree 100%! Build more jails, rehab & mental institutions!!
these people don’t want to follow rules, they want what they can get, and do what they want
