Discussion of Feeding the Homeless Is Delayed
- Share via
Discussion of a controversial request to set up a program for the homeless in Redondo Beach’s Dominguez Park has been delayed by the City Council until Dec. 5.
Faced with a lengthy agenda, the council delayed discussion of the issue until its next meeting, even though dozens of homeless activists and neighborhood residents had come to debate the plan.
At issue is a request by Hope Chapel of Redondo Beach to distribute free food and clothing from a church-owned trailer that would be placed in Dominguez Park once a week for a 45-day test period.
City officials say there are few, if any, street people in Redondo Beach, and neighbors fear the program will draw transients from other parts of Los Angeles.
