Interfaith Prayer Service on Zoom, Tues, July 9th at 12:15 PM for the 24 People "Without Fixed Abode" who died in June 2024 in OC
All are invited to a Zoom Interfaith Memorial Prayer Service on Tuesday, July 9th at 12:15 PM for the 31 people who died "Without Fixed Abode" in OC in July, 2024. Zoom info below. At the mid-point of the year, the number of deaths among those people "living without fixed abode", homeless, in the County is 22.1% lower than last year. That is something to be thankful for. However, for the first time in months the number of deaths, 31, among this population in June was comparable to the number of deaths in June in previous years -- 30 (2020), 31 (2021), and 33 (2023). Further, there are a number of longer-term concerns on the horizon: (1) the apparent lack of credible planning in the County to provide significant cold weather shelter for the County's unsheltered homeless population this coming winter, (2) the effect of the recent Grants Pass decision by the Supreme Court that significantly altered previous Boise Decision of the lower Appellate Court wit
