2 REDONDO BEACH PATHWAY TO HOUSING
THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH HAS TAKEN GREAT EFFORTS IN THE PLANNING OF A STRATEGIC “ PATHWAY TO HOUSING ” TARGETING THEIR HOMELESS POPULATION AND
PROVIDING THEM THE NECESSARY RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS FOR HOUSING READINESS:
STREET OUTREACH
CASE MANAGEMENT & HOUSING NAVIGATION
OUTDOOR HOMELESS COURT
PALLET NON -CONGREGATE SHELTER & MOTEL BEDS
TRANSITIONAL BEDS & SINGLE RESIDENT OCCUPANCY
PERMANENT HOUSING
3 REDONDO BEACH PATHWAY TO HOUSING FLOWCHART
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HEALTH NET HOUSING AND HOMELESS INCENTIVES PROGRAM (HHIP) ,
REDONDO BEACH IS SEEKING INVESTMENTS TO AID IN THEIR VISION FOR EXPANSION OF THEIR RESOURCES : THE ADDITION OF AN ALTERNATIVE CRISIS RESPONSE (ACR) TEAM SERVING THOSE
EXPERIENCING EPISODES OF SEVERE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AS WELL AS THE EXPANSION OF THEIR
CURRENT PALLET SHELTER
(and follow up care as
needed)
4 ALTERNATTIVE CRISIS RESPONSE OVERVIEW
PHASE 1 : HERMOSA BEACH – FEDERALLY FUNDED
PHASE 2 : REDONDO BEACH ROLLOUT EXPANSION (WITH HEALTH NET HOUSING AND HOMELESS INCENTIVES PROGRAM “HHIP” FUNDING)
PHASE 3 : MANHATTAN BEACH & EL SEGUNDO / FLOATER TEAM ROLLOUT PHASE 4: PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER SOUTH BAY CITIES
INDEPENDENT POLICE DEPARTMENTS
AFTER POLICE DISPATCH CALL DATA ANALYSIS, THE BEACH CITIES IN LOS ANGELES HAVE IDENTIFIED THE NEED
OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE SERVICES, AS HOMELESSNESS OFTEN COMES WITH DUAL DIAGNOSES. BECAUSE COUNTY PROGRAMS ARE INUNDATED AND THEIR RESPONSE TO CRISES IS, AT TIMES,
WELL OVER ONE HOUR, CITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS (SUCH AS POLICE AND FIRE) AS WELL AS MEDICAL SERVICES (HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS) HAVE BEEN THE “
FIRST RESPONSE ” TO THESE CALLS.
UNDERSTANDING THAT THE TRUE NEED FOR THESE CALLS REQUIRES A COMBINATION OF PHYSICAL HEALTH,
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE PROFESSIONALS , OUR CITIES ARE TAKING ACTION BY CREATING THEIR OWN ALTERNATIVE CRISIS RESPONSE TEAMS; LASER -FOCUSED ON PROVIDING INTENSIVE WHOLE-
PERSON HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN EPISODES OF CRISIS WITH GOALS OF REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF ER VISITS, FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENT INVOLVEMENT. OUR TEAMS WILL ALSO BE PROVIDING SERVICES TO OUR
HOUSED COMMUNITIES TO ADDRESS NEW OR EXISTING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CRISES AND TO PREVENT FUTURE HOMELESSNESS.

10 REDONDO BEACH PALLET SHELTER
THE REDONDO BEACH PALLET SHELTER HAS BECOME A HAVEN; A PLACE TO
CALL HOME, TO PERFORM ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING AND LEARN THE SKILLS OF BECOMING A “ GOOD NEIGHBOR ” IN PREPARATION TO OBTAIN AND RETAIN PERMANENT HOUSING. IT IS WHERE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROVIDERS AND CITY
AND COUNTY PROGRAMS CAN PROVIDE CASE MANAGEMENT AND ALL -AROUND
CARE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD LIKELY NOT SEEK ASSISTANCE ON THE STREET. INITIALLY OPENING IN 2020 WITH 15 UNITS, THE CITY LATER ADDED FIVE MORE UNITS TO BRING THE TOTAL TO 20.
11 REDONDO BEACH PALLET SHELTER DATA
SUCCESSES TO DATE
OVERALL TOTAL NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS SHELTERED: 90
OF THE OCCUPANTS SERVED, NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS
THAT HAVE BEEN PERMANENTLY HOUSED: 51
HOUSING RATE (PERCENTAGE): 56.6% (compared to 17% in LA Countywide) There are currently 20 individuals residing at the Pallet Shelter and the city has worked diligently on ensuring 8 of those individuals are “ document -ready” for available housing opportunities. In August 2023, the SBCCOG added a Housing Locator to their team, working alongside Redondo Beach outreach and case management staff in identifying permanent housing options for residents.
