Ventura’s Safe and Clean team, in collaboration with the Lift Up Your Voice to End Homelessness Project, are conducting clean ups on a regular basis in partnership with the Ventura Police Patrol Task Force, Police Cadets, and homeless individuals. Homeless individuals have been encouraged to pick up their trash and put the bags on the main Santa Clara River Bottom trail.
Over 175 bags of trash were brought to the trail and collected by the Safe & Clean team during the last clean up. This type of collaboration is an important step in addressing homeless issues while providing important street outreach to connect individuals with needed services to potentially start the journey out of homelessness.
