The city’s homeless shelters and facilities have recently undergone major improvements.

The Daybreak Shelter, an Ocean Park Community Center transitional living program for mentally ill homeless women was remodeled. The OPCC Access Center also was renovated with new office space and five new emergency beds for homeless women.

The city’s main shelter, SAMOSHEL, has had a complete renovation. The shelter now has bunk beds instead of cots, and has added 10 new emergency beds. The shelter now offers 110 beds.

The city funds portions of 22 homeless services in and around Santa Monica. Last year, the city helped nearly 2,000 homeless people progress from the streets to the city-funded emergency shelter, transitional living programs and permanent housing.
