Interfaith Prayer Service on Zoom, Tues, May 9th at 12:15 PM for the 34 People "Without Fixed Abode" who died in April 2023 in OC
All are invited to a Zoom Interfaith Memorial Prayer Service on Tuesday, May 9th at 12:15 PM for the 34 people who died "Without Fixed Abode" in OC in April, 2023 as well as the 2 additional people who had died in March, 2023 but had still gone unrecorded last month. Zoom info below. The 34 person death toll for April marks a significant decrease from the record count of 54 people who had died last month and even the 41 person death toll for April 2021. The weather finally improved last month. The County implemented a quite aggressive Narcan distribution program, to make the antidote to Fentanyl available to the public, and there appeared to be change in the OC jails release policy significantly lowering the number of former inmates being released in the middle of the night when virtually everything is closed. Still, the death toll for April in 2020 and 2021 were 34 and 32, so comparable to this year's numbers. And in April 2019, the number of deaths 19. Stil
