HOMELESSNESS continues to be a challenge in Stanton (Shutterstock).<\/p>\n

By Jim Tortolano

The challenges of coping with a persistent problem of homelessness in the community were underlined in a report presented to the Stanton City Council on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to homeless outreach coordinators, 87.5 percent of the unhoused contacted by them in February declined offers of shelter; that\u2019s 108 out of 123.<\/p>\n

Two of the 123 were referred to interim housing, five received emergency motel assistance and five requests for shelter were \u201cnot attained.\u201d<\/p>\n

That statistic is similar to numbers from December 2025, in which 87 percent of the 96 people encountered declined offers of assistance.<\/p>\n

The \u201chot spots\u201d for homeless for February were listed as Western Street and Katella Avenue, Western and Cerritos Avenue, and Mercantile Avenue.<\/p>\n

There were successes. Outreach coordinators were able to connect a middle-aged woman \u201cexperiencing long-term homelessness\u201d with a shelter, and an elderly man with a history of short-term holds for mental health issues has been declared to be a \u201cdanger to himself and others\u201d and has been taken to a facility \u201cfor further psychological evaluation and stabilization.\u201d<\/p>\n
