The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station reported that deputies from the Crime Prevention Unit recently cleared 17 homeless encampments in the SCV with the assistance of the City of Santa Clarita Code Enforcement and Los Angeles County Homeless Services.

The clean-up was held at 17 homeless encampments throughout the Santa Clarita Valley area. The team partnered with local non-profits and government programs to provide services and relocation opportunities for each encampment.

A family that had been homeless for more than 10 years was assisted during the action. They are now qualified and ready to relocate into housing.

On July 25, California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order to remove homeless camps throughout the state. Newsome also encouraged county and city action to prevent the loss of state funding in 2025.

Assistance is available for homeless families and individuals in the SCV. Visit Bridge to Home at btohome.org or call (661) 254-4663 or Family Promise of Santa Clarita Valley at www.familypromisescv.org or call (661) 251-2866.
