Carson Coordinating Council

Happening Tomorrow @ 10am Veteran’s Park!

As a member of the Carson Sheriff's Station Support Foundation Board of Directors, and Chair of the Safety and Prevention Committee for the Avalon Greens 2 HOA, I want to alert you to this upcoming event:

In response to the shooting this month at Foisia (formerly Scott) Park and in light of the recent school and community violence plaguing or nation the Carson Sheriff's Station and the City of Carson, CA have partnered to provide this commmunity meeting tomorrow, May 28th @ 10am at Veteran's Park Sports Complex.

I am deeply concerned about the lingering presence of criminal, drug, and gang activity throughout our city and concentrated in our more modest neighborhoods. It is more important than ever that we come together to find solutions and answers to the many issues that prevent us from safely and peacefully enjoying the city and nation we call home.

Join us TONIGHT, December 1, as we kick-off the holiday season with our Tree Lighting Ceremony at 6 p.m. at the Carson Event Center Atrium.

The City of Carson will host a Virtual Town Hall on the Dominguez Channel tomorrow, Nov. 18 at 6 p.m.
Residents can register and presubmit questions by visiting www.carsonca.gov/townhall/

Live stream can be viewed via the city's website or YouTube channel. - https://mailchi.mp/carsoncat/townhall-dominguez-nov18-769084

VERIFIED WITH CITY AND COUNTY STAFF:

Call 310-830-7600 for City resources and 211 for County resources. The City is taking calls daily, weekends included from 7:00am to 6:00pm. When calling 211, press 4 for English, and then 1 for the Dominguez Channel. They are open 24/7.

The City is no longer placing new people into hotel rooms as they have depleted their allocated funds. But, they will still place you on the wait list and tell you to call 211 for help there.

The County is only providing hotel room with daily meal reimbursements right now and either free air purifiers or reimbursements for purchased air purifiers and filters.

For the County, toy have to fill out their online form. If you want to pick up a purifier, do a SEPARATE form and write down your tracking number and take it with you to Victoria Park 7am to 7:30pm.

If you are picking up a purifier, and you have a tracking number, you only need to fill out the receipt form and put the tracking number on top. You will get in the regular line and they will check you in once you get up front.

If you wait until you get a confirmation number, which comes in a second email but takes several days for them to process, you will not need to fill out an application either. You will only fill out the receipt form, but you will be allowed to go to the front of the express line and will be seen before the others waiting in the longer regular line.

Also for the County, if you want to get reimbursed for your hotel and/or meals (if you got relocated by the city you can only apply for meal reimbursements), be sure to include the name of the people in your house in box 3.

County reimbursements are $180/day for hotel, $66/day/person for meals, $400 in air purifiers and filters for houses under 1K sq ft (or 1 free unit at the park), and $800 in air purifiers and filters for houses over 1K sq ft (or 2 free units at the park).

County reimbursement eligibility is for purifier/filter purchases, meals while relocated, and hotel stays between October 4, 2021 through November 11, 2021. Receipts must be submitted to the county by November 30th. Instructions for submitting receipts will be in your confirmation email from the county (this will be a second email several days later, not the original tracking email that comes as soon as you apply).

Hope this helps…
