SaMoShel Shutdown Sparks Neighborhood Fears | Venice Beach News
Description
Santa Monica’s poised to shut down SaMoShel, the city’s longtime shelter near the bus depot, as part of a new “Housing Focused System of Care” aiming for more individual motel rooms and scattered placements instead of dorm-style living. City leaders stress local control and smoother transitions to permanent housing, but residents fear the move will bring mental health and homelessness issues directly into residential neighborhoods — especially Pico — turning a distant problem into a front-door headache. While officials call it progress, neighbors are watching closely to see if this “non-congregate” model truly helps or just relocates the crisis closer to home.
