𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗙𝗘 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: City Outreach Teams Move Encampment Residents Into Housing

DEL REY, Calif. — Thursday, March 12, 2026 — Before sunrise Thursday morning, city crews and outreach teams gathered near the intersection of Lincoln Boulevard and Washington Boulevard along the Del Rey–Venice border for a coordinated Inside Safe operation aimed at relocating individuals from a large encampment into interim housing. Several outreach workers from the office of Karen Bass were on site alongside representatives from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority to begin engaging with individuals living at the encampment. The operation prompted temporary traffic controls in the surrounding area. Personnel from the Los Angeles Department of Transportation closed portions of Beach Avenue and Del Rey Avenue in both directions to accommodate buses and service vehicles, while officers with the Los Angeles Police Department were present to provide public-safety support during the operation. Outreach workers spoke with individuals at the encampment and assisted them as they gathered their belongings and carried them to a nearby charter bus staged for transportation. Some individuals arrived with bicycles, which were secured to racks mounted on the front of the buses. In total, three buses were used to transport participants to interim housing locations. Officials said roughly 20 individuals accepted services and were transported from the encampment to shelter or other temporary housing placements. Speaking at the scene, Councilwoman Traci Park said the encampment had generated numerous complaints from nearby residents and businesses and that the operation was intended to restore access to the area while offering housing assistance. “We have had a very large encampment here and a lot of complaints from neighbors and businesses,” Park said. “Today we’ve teamed up with the mayor’s Inside Safe team for a major operation, and we’re excited to return this area safe and accessible for the community.” Juan Fregoso, district director for Park’s office, said the operation followed several weeks of planning and outreach. “Planning for Inside Safe takes several weeks of coordination with outreach teams and service providers to make sure all the right departments are here,” Fregoso said. “Today roughly 20 people are going inside and off the streets.” Fregoso added that the location has been approved as a future enforcement site under LAMC §41.18, with signage expected to be installed in the coming weeks restricting camping and the storage of personal property in the area. Nick Marcone, a manager with the Inside Safe Field Intervention Team in the mayor’s office, said outreach workers had spent several weeks engaging with individuals at the site before the operation. “Our field intervention team has been coming to this location, getting to know the individuals that live here and identifying their needs,” Marcone said. “The goal is to make sure everyone at this encampment goes inside to interim housing.” Marcone said participants placed through the program receive a range of services including case management, meals, healthcare connections, and housing navigation aimed at helping them transition into permanent housing. Once participants departed the site, sanitation crews began clearing the remaining debris associated with the encampment. The cleanup involved the Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Environmental Compliance Inspectors, Clean Harbors Environmental Services, and outreach staff from LAHSA. Environmental Compliance Inspectors and hazardous-materials specialists sorted through remaining items to identify potentially hazardous materials such as batteries and aerosol containers. Clean Harbors personnel handled the disposal of hazardous waste while Public Works crews removed accumulated trash and bulky debris from the sidewalks and surrounding area. After the debris was cleared, sanitation workers power-washed the sidewalk and nearby street, restoring the area following the encampment removal. City officials said the operation marked another deployment of the Inside Safe initiative, which aims to move people from encampments into interim housing while connecting them with supportive services and long-term housing pathways.
