Proclamation - Homeless Awareness WeekPROCLAMATION
For the Establishment of
HOMELESS AWARENESS WEEK
WHEREAS, approximately 51, 340 homeless people were counted to be living in LA County, 34%
experience substance abuse, 33% suffer from mental illness, 22% have a physical
disability (LAHSA 2011);
WHEREAS, approximately 3, 918 of the LA County homeless population lives on the streets or in
emergency shelters in the San Gabriel Valley each night. The number of homeless people
in San Gabriel Valley is on the rise;
WHEREAS, being homeless makes it difficult to secure basic needs, including access to stable
housing, balanced nutrition, self -care, and adequate and appropriate medical or mental
health care. Of the alarming number of homeless people in San Gabriel Valley, 29% are
chronically homeless, 47% are substance abusers, and 37.5% are mentally ill;
WHEREAS, awareness of the epidemic of homelessness and its causes in the San Gabriel Valley must
be heightened to ensure greater support for effective programs aimed at preventing
homelessness and helping homeless individuals and families obtain and maintain
permanent housing.
WHEREAS, the citizens of San Gabriel Valley are the key to preventing homelessness by volunteering
time, donating assistance, and advocating for resources; encouraging productive choices,
and creating opportunities for family members and neighbors to maintain housing;
WHEREAS, initiating a Homeless Awareness Week in the San Gabriel Valley will provide as the
opportunity to increase our knowledge and understanding of those living without shelter.
The activities during this week will also educate residents of San Gabriel Valley on how
to combat and improve this unfortunate problem in our region;
WHEREAS, ending homeless now is critical to upholding the vitality of families and sense of
community in San Gabriel Valley. The San Gabriel Valley Consortium on Homelessness
("fhe Consortium) is established to facilitate partnerships, educating the community and
member agencies, and advocating for appropriate housing and services;
THEREFORE, we, the Board of the San Gabriel Valley Consortium on Homelessness, do hereby
proclaim the third week of November as HOMELESS AWARENESS WEEK in
San Gabriel Valley, California.
Passed and adopted by the Board of the San Gabriel Valley Consortium on the 16 of October, 2014.
