VA Outreach Planned for Vets in Encampment, Call Placed With County Official
By Dolores Quintana
In the most recent development, LA County Sanitation undertook a cleaning operation at the Bringham encampment area last week. While some progress has been made in terms of cleanliness and reduction in size, active campsites were left untouched, and the encampment remains, albeit in a smaller and tidier state. The effort comes as the community seeks further clarification on the future of the encampment.
As of now, it has been reported that the Veterans Affairs (VA) department is planning additional outreach to veterans within the encampment. However, specific details about the number of remaining campers and the exact count of veterans among them remain unknown. Seeking answers and guidance, community members have been actively engaged with County officials and the VA.
A call has been made to Supervisor Horvath to join a forthcoming community meeting, providing a platform for residents to voice their concerns and inquire about the situation. In light of the ongoing efforts to prepare Los Angeles for the arrival of Hurricane Hilary, it is understandable that immediate responses might be delayed.
As soon as any information becomes available, the community will be duly informed, allowing for a clearer understanding of the situation and the next steps moving forward.
