Episode Details

Santa Monica is poised to shut down SaMoShel, its decades-old homeless shelter, replacing it with a new, targeted housing system designed to end congregate living. With a July 28th vote looming, the city plans to shift toward stabilization, interim, and permanent housing with support services — all under city control. The Palm Motel and Bell Shelter will play key roles, while the city seeks additional non-congregate sites to absorb SaMoShel’s 60 beds. This move comes amid broader cuts and restructuring across Los Angeles County, forcing Santa Monica to adapt or risk falling behind in its mission to help unhoused residents and address community concerns.
