Proclamation
WHEREAS, October 10, 2025, is observed as World Homeless Day to raise awareness about the needs of people experiencing homelessness. The initiative highlights opportunities for individuals, organizations, and communities to engage in efforts to address and respond to homelessness; and
WHEREAS, various circumstances can lead to financial hardships that often result in homelessness. In such situations, meeting basic needs becomes a struggle and opportunities to break the cycle of homelessness are limited.

It is essential that we show compassion for those less fortunate and participate in anti-poverty initiatives that support and uplift the homeless; and WHEREAS, the City of Chino is actively addressing homelessness through coordinated strategic partnerships, community engagement. Collaborations with San Bernardino County services, including the Department of Behavioral Health and the City and School District's HOPE Programs, have further advanced the City's mission to meet individuals where they are and support their transition into permanent housing; and WHEREAS, in the past fiscal year alone, the Community Services, Parks & Recreation Homeless Outreach Team and the Police Department's Quality-of-Life Team have committed over 1,290 hours to assisting clients, cleared 34 encampments, served more than 220 individuals, and successfully helped 41 people exit the streets.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, EUNICE M. ULLOA, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF CHINO, do hereby proclaim October 10, 2025 as:
"WORLD HOMELESS DAY"
in the City of Chino and urge all citizens to acknowledge the needs of the less fortunate in our community and support the private and public nonprofit organizations committed to addressing those needs.
