30 homeless people removed from Los Angeles County encampment

Thirty homeless people were moved out of an encampment in Santa Fe Springs earlier this month.

The effort, led by L.A. County’s Pathway Home program, was conducted with the help of local agencies and the county’s sheriff’s department on Dec. 19.

The operation focused on an encampment of 30 people living along the San Gabriel River and the 605 Freeway where people lived in makeshift structures and tents.

Homeless residents were moved inside to local motels for interim housing as officials worked to clear the encampment of debris and dilapidated structures.
