Long Beach's Tiny Homes Project Faces Setbacks, Restarting from Scratch for the Third Time

Long Beach Homelessness Bureau Shifts Focus to Interim Housing for Students

Long Beach's homelessness bureau recently announced a significant change in plans regarding its "tiny homes" project. Instead of building at Willow Springs Park, officials are now focusing on constructing interim housing for students at Long Beach City College.

• The decision to scrap the tiny homes project at the latest location was quietly made after a costly land survey in April.
• The city missed the opportunity to apply for state grant funding due to the site's unsuitability.
• This development marks another setback in the city's ongoing struggle to address the homeless shelter shortage.

What do you think?

• Should the city have been more proactive in finding a suitable location?
• Is shifting focus to student housing a positive or negative move?
• How can Long Beach better address its homelessness crisis?
