Meet the heroes who are making a difference with those individuals living in vehicles, along our streets and near our freeways. This morning’s Collaborative Homeless Outreach effort brought 6 agencies and the Mayor of Gardena, Tasha Cerda together. We targeted our efforts along the Avalon Corridor and followed up with those still remaining on the Broadway Corridor. As we worked with the unhoused, we were able to follow up multiple times with many of them. By the end of the day, we had individuals ready to accept the help. Outreach is not simply working solely with the homeless. It provides us the opportunity to identify & report the problems. Typically, we can get immediate response from the responsible agency. In this case, the hydrant is severely damaged. In the event of a fire, this hydrant is not fully operational thus creating a safety risk for our community. Throughout the Unincorporated areas & within the City of Gardena, the fire hydrants are maintained by Golden State Water. For the City of Los Angeles, it is LADWP.
