Home My WebLink AboutRE_ Homeless Encampment Update - Caltrans removing encampment off Gentle Springs Friday 10_28_22 (3).msgGood afternoon- CADA showed up today and nobody wanted transport to the temporary housing that was available in Lancaster. I also received an email from Best Western they are doing landscaping work at the rear of their property and encountered a tent in the recently cleared Caltrans property. I visited location and confirmed. This is a work in progress.

As of Monday 10/31 afternoon, there was a lead on possible relocation of six individuals to a shelter in Lancaster. However, CADA is limited in their vehicle transport and was trying to figure out how to safely transport the persons to that facility. I will update once I know for certain if they were successful in arranging transport. It is possible the persons may be in the area until that coordination is successful. Sharing the update so you are aware in case you get calls or complaints.

There were several persons (6 or more) residing in the area, and many were seen in the nearby area including the parking lot behind New Aashiyana Restaurant. Deputy Kerr and NI Jones were on site, and had conversation with the displaced persons as well as the manager of the restaurant. The displaced persons indicated they were wanting service referral, however, when I reached out to LA CADA they were in another City and were unable to break away. They have the location on schedule for Monday. I separately submitted another LA HOP request through LAHSA. We may receive calls, emails, or service requests over the weekend. It was anticipated that we would receive additional concerns once Caltrans completed their work. Please forward any concerns you get over the weekend. Chris G in Public Works had to separately handle a fence issue on Prospectors under the SR-60 freeway possibly related to the Caltrans work. Caltrans is aware and will schedule fence repair. This is an ongoing and changing situation. I thank you all for your contributions and efforts.

Please note Caltrans typically is on site with CHP. I’m sharing internally and with our Sheriff Team. In the past CHP has handled the law enforcement aspect of the removal, but providing in case additional support is needed. In case you get resident questions, we notified Caltrans of the encampment shortly after the SR-57 Diamond Bar Blvd/Sunset Crossing encampment was closed on 9/6/22. This process from start to conclusion takes anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. Note the individuals will likely relocate to another area in town. If you receive supplemental reports let me know.

Below is a quick summary of the locations. I’ve submitted Caltrans Customer Service Requests online for the locations, as well as LA HOP. Once they respond we will be in a better position to update residents as they call. 1. Best Western – at the rear of the parking lot, on Caltrans ROW next to freeway. 2. Diamond Palace Restaurant – at the rear of the parking lot, on Caltrans ROW next to freeway. 3. SR-60 W/B off ramp onto Diamond Bar Blvd – just north of the off ramp on Caltrans ROW, but likely also on private property. Let me know if you have any questions.
