Venice's Rose Avenue Sees Ongoing Weekly Efforts to Clean Up Homeless Encampments

Venice, Los Angeles - February 15, 2024: In Rose Avenue, a joint effort by the Los Angeles Department of Public Works and Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. is tackling the homeless encampment issue. This action aligns with the city's goal to manage homelessness and ensure public cleanliness. Workers, in hazmat suits, followed strict safety protocols during the cleanup. The city had previously alerted the community, asking for personal items to be cleared from the area, with a warning that left items would be removed. Forty-eight hours prior to the operation, the city had disseminated notices informing the community of the impending cleanup and urging the removal of personal belongings from the designated areas. The notices clarified that items left behind would be collected by city personnel. Homeless individuals received a 15-minute notice to relocate their belongings before cleanup began, with law enforcement assisting in moving people and sanitation workers clearing unclaimed items. The effort focused on separating hazardous from non-hazardous waste for thorough cleaning. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority provided outreach to the homeless, while the police ensured the operation's safety and compliance, without issuing any citations. This cleanup reflects Los Angeles' comprehensive approach to homelessness, combining immediate measures with long-term solutions.
