Venice, Los Angeles - May 28, 2024: On Tuesday, the newly formed Coastal Care+ task force conducted a cleanup of homeless encampments along Speedway in Venice. This effort involved multiple agencies, including the LAPD, the Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Clean Harbors Environmental Inc., the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), and the office of Councilwoman Traci Park's Homelessness and Housing Coordinator.
Los Angeles Police officers ensured compliance and security for the sanitation workers during the operation..
Team members, equipped with protective gear, carefully managed the segregation and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials. Assistance from Public Works and Clean Harbors was essential in handling the various types of waste encountered.
