Library of the Canyons is not a viable solution to the County's homeless population for a number of reasons, some of which are below:

• Remote location with no public transportation;
• No available services;
• High-risk fire area;
• Prohibitive evacuation route;
• Inadequate waste disposal being on septic system;
• Recently renovated public library costing tax-payers 3.6 million dollars;
• On-site Children's Library;
• Preschool adjacent to location servicing over 40 children.

Our recommendation is to study the homeless population recently removed from the Santa Ana river bed to assess percentages of services/beds required and have each of the 34 cities and unincorporated areas provide their fair share of the number of necessary beds based on a percentage of per capita residents in their jurisdictions.
