Everyone Home Long Beach
“While Long Beach has done some amazing work to address homelessness, it is clear we must do more.”
– Mayor Robert Garcia
Everyone Home Long Beach is a bold citywide plan to address the statewide homelessness crisis and its effects on Long Beach. Built on the efforts by the City, Everyone Home Long Beach is mobilizing the entire community to create new pathways into affordable homes and to increase efforts to prevent our residents from becoming homeless.
This initiative was guided by a Task Force of leaders, chaired by California State University Long Beach President Jane Conoley, who worked with people experiencing homelessness, students, community members, tenants, employers, property owners and service providers to prepare a comprehensive set of recommendations for review by the Mayor and City Council.
