WHEREAS, Orange County is in the midst of a homelessness crisis, with the
number of unsheltered homeless individuals increasing by 54 percent in the last five
years despite increasing expenditures to combat the issue;

model for responding to chronic homelessness, with studies showing PSH decreases
chronic homelessness by 30% more than traditional, transitional housing or emergency
shelter housing;
WHEREAS, a study conducted by United Way, Jamboree Housing, and UCI
found that in fiscal year 2014-2015 cities in Orange County spent approximately $120
million to address homelessness, more than a third of the total $300 million spent
throughout the entire county;
WHEREAS, that same study found that if all of Orange County's chronically
homeless individuals were placed in PSH units it would have a cost -savings of $42
million per year;
WHEREAS, the Association of California Cities, Orange County (ACC -OC) has
initiated efforts for the purpose of planning for the addition of 2,700 PSH units in Orange
County;
WHEREAS, ACC -OC has proposed to allocate the 2,700 PSH units among the
34 cities in the County and the County unincorporated areas; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Tustin desires for the City to be
represented and to participate in the ACC -OC discussions about PSH units and PSH
site locations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Tustin City staff is authorized to
participate in ACC -OC meetings and discussions on the City's behalf about the potential
allocations and potential siting locations of PSH units. City staff is not, however,
