At the Wednesday, April 7th meeting of the Oceanside City Council, Councilmembers will consider a hotel/motel voucher program and anti-camping ordinances. The voucher program offers a viable, short-term solution to sheltering our homeless population until a permanent shelter can be put in place. Additionally, the ordinances give our public safety officials more options to address a growing problem. We have reached a critical juncture; it is time to implement the tools needed to provide more humane, long-term solutions for our homeless while providing a safer, cleaner, and healthier community for our residents and businesses who are also trying to live and thrive.
It is critical that you take this opportunity to reach out to Mayor Sanchez and the City Council to urge their approval of these programs. Please take a few moments to join our efforts today.
We have had an overwhelming response from our community stakeholders regarding the actions that the City Council will consider at their April 7th meeting regarding a hotel/motel voucher program and anti-camping ordinances.
