Culver City’s new conservative council majority has taken a cruel approach to the community’s most vulnerable residents. On Monday (1/23/23), they passed an ordinance to take away tents, cots and personal belongings from unhoused residents in the dead of winter. While proclaiming that taking away belongings is somehow a “compassionate approach” to “help the homeless” - the letter of the law they passed exposes a callus punishment of poverty, vehemently opposed by Culver City’s unhoused residents, and their housed allies.

The data reveals that very few homeless individuals have actually been moved indoors as a result of the outreach associated with encampment sweeps. The study found that losing belongings to sweeps can have a direct impact on unhoused residents’ health, as they lose medical supplies, prescription meds, and equipment such as walkers, as well as their community, and sentimental belongings like photos and childhood items that are often irreplaceable." ...
