Why Requesting Homeless Outreach Is Important.
When a request for homeless outreach is submitted, teams are deployed typically within 48 hours.

Our Commitment To Getting Resources To Our Homeless.
“We See You”
“We Have Services For You”
Everyday.
Three months ago, we reached out to homeless outreach service providers from the entire South Bay to assist with the 450+ RV’s and individuals living on the sidewalks throughout the East Gardena/West Rancho Dominguez area. From the first outreach, we realized we needed to start a regular collaborative outreach. Every other Wednesday, you will see teams along the Broadway corridor and throughout Harbor Gateway visiting each RV and following up with their clients.

What To Do With All The Illegal Dumping…
Illegal dumping is exploding throughout the Unincorporated LA County areas of East Gardena, West Rancho Dominguez, Willowbrook and the community of Harbor Gateway. We dedicate the very first part of our days simply reporting all the dumping to the various entities. Our efforts have brought attention to many of these areas.
Currently, the City of Los Angeles is prosecuting the illegal dumping. We have been fortunate in catching approximately 61 individuals in the act. Under no circumstances do we attempt to stop the illegal dumping due to the safety issues. We simply video the act, and submit a report using the MYLA311 app.
Leaking Water Mains, Compromised Fire Hydrants…
Leaking water mains, compromised fire hydrants are impacting the safety throughout the Unincorporated LA County areas of East Gardena, West Rancho Dominguez & Willowbrook. Please do your part by reporting these issues to Golden State Water by calling

An Empty Building Is Never A Good Thing.
Buildings along the Union Pacific Railroad areas have become targets for criminal activity. The warehouses located at 400 W Rosecrans are in the process of being demolished. We are trying to work with regional planning so these buildings will not longer pose a threat to our communities.
To report suspicious activity in this area, the South side of Rosecrans along the East side of Figueroa contact Compton Sheriff Station at 310 605 6500.
Non Conforming Vehicle Fire
On Sunday, May 14th, an RV fire or Non Conforming Vehicle was set on fire. There were no injuries or loss of life. This is the first fire we have had since April. We alerted AT&T, Verizon & Spectrum of the fire. The County of Los Angeles, Supervisor Mitchell’s office, LASD HOST Team, HOPICS, & St Joseph’s Center were also notified of the situation. Currently, we have three burned RV’s sitting on our streets longer than 3 months. We are seeing the landlords rebuilding the burned RV’s and renting them out. (Yes, that is factual information).
Please send emails to the following individuals asking for the burned out RV’s to be removed immediately before they are rented again.
