Santa Ana residents, mayor say it's time for other OC cities to host cold weather shelter for homeless
Santa Ana is set to open a local armory as a shelter for the homeless. But some say it's time for other Orange County cities to do their part.Members of the Delhi neighborhood of Santa Ana and the city's mayor say it is time for other cities to take on the responsibility of hosting an emergency shelter after a U.S. district judge changed his mind unexpectedly last week, ruling to allow the county to reopen the National Guard Armory as a cold weather shelter.
"They take shelter here on the handball courts, even under the playground or by the restrooms over there, so it's been increasing over the years," Barrera said. This ruling came from U.S. District Judge David Carter, who in earlier proceedings agreed with city leaders and the findings of an OC Grand Jury report out this past summer- South OC was in need of shelter beds."It took us all by surprise. I was very disappointed, unfortunately because we were so optimistic about his first ruling the week before where he told the county that they should look elsewhere for another cold weather shelter," Sarmiento said.
Parents at the park Thursday said they weren't against helping those in need, but it was time for other cities to share the responsibility.
