CALIFORNIA, DECLARING HOMELESSNESS A REGIONAL ISSUE
AND WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE CITIES OF
TEMECULA, MURRIETA, LAKE ELSINORE, AND WILDOMAR TO
DEVELOP A COORDINATED SYSTEM OF CARE
WHEREAS, homelessness is a regional issue affecting every city in Southwestern Riverside County which can result in the inefficient and fragmented use of public resources, unacceptable living conditions for families, diminished quality of our communities and ultimately leads to a recurring cycle of homelessness; and WHEREAS, previous programs and approaches often had the unintended result of maintaining homelessness without providing long-term solutions and therefore breaking the cycle of homelessness; and
WHEREAS, the Community Mission of Hope, cities in Southwest Riverside County, and various stakeholders have developed a collaborative partnership that addresses the complex issues of homelessness from a regional perspective and provides homeless outreach services utilizing public, private and non-profit sector resources; and WHEREAS, the cities of Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Menifee and Wildomar declare homelessness a regional issue requiring an effective, measurable and long-term solution, we hereby pledge and commit to move this program forward by adopting the vision laid out in the Regional Homeless Alliance charter.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Menifee, jointly by the cities of Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore and Wildomar, hereby confirm our belief in the goal of breaking the cycle of homelessness within our communities and working collaboratively to develop a coordinated system of care.
