Mobile Access Center Continues Homeless Services Outreach Throughout August

Long Beach will continue to deploy its Mobile Access Center (MAC) in select areas weekdays throughout August. The MAC significantly lowers barriers to providing case management services and other resources for people experiencing homelessness, as it allows the City’s Homeless Services Bureau outreach staff to conduct meaningful engagement and relationship building and start the intake process right on the street.

Since July 31, the MAC has been stationed, and will continue to be stationed, at the following locations from 9 a.m. to noon:

• Mondays – Mark Twain Neighborhood Library (1401 E. Anaheim St.) parking lot.
• Tuesdays – Christian Outreach in Action (515 E. 3rd St.), parked on Linden Ave..
• Wednesdays – Billie Jean King Main Library (200 W. Broadway), Pacific Ave. side of Library.
• Thursdays – Drake/Chavez Soccer Fields (903-999 Fairbanks Ave.). The MAC will be parked facing Los Angeles River near the parking lot located on De Forest Ave. just south of the soccer fields.
• Fridays – Alamitos Beach Parking Lot near the south end of the parking lot, at Shoreline Dr. and Beach Access Rd.

Since July 31, the MAC will be stationed from 1:30 to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the locations below:

• Mondays – Traffic Circle, in the area of Ximeno Ave. and East Atherton St. Van will be parked on Ximeno Ave.
• Tuesdays – Houghton Park (6301 Myrtle Ave.), Atlantic Ave. side of the park.
• Wednesdays – 6th Street and Long Beach Blvd., on 6th St. between Long Beach Blvd. and Elm Ave.

The second MAC vehicle is expected to begin operations mid-to-late August.
