Because Costa Mesa operates an emergency shelter that assists those experiencing homelessness, we requested 10 trailers from the State of California out of abundance of caution and as a preventative measure among our most vulnerable homeless population.

Those trailers arrived today. They will be housed in a section of the OC Fair & Event Center’s parking lot.

Costa Mesa remains proactive in its planning efforts for COVID 19 impacts, and we thank the fairgrounds for their partnership to place the trailers there.

Costa Mesa and its partners will support any homeless persons placed there with daily supportive services, meals and transportation to ensure minimal impacts to the surrounding areas of the fairgrounds.
