Clearing the homeless encampments out of the Santa Maria Riverbed will take collaboration between SLO and Santa Barbara counties and Caltrans. Complicating the issue is a lack of sufficient shelter beds in both counties, with SLO County having more than 400 people on waitlists for its current shelter and transitional housing beds. While Santa Barbara County has already earmarked $3 million for the effort, San Luis Obispo County still seems to be in the planning stages for what it might commit to as part of a future cleanup. Staff Writer Samantha Herrera from the Sun’s sister paper speaks with both counties about the issue [6]. You can also read an update on the March 5 primary election results [4], about the Firedance Academy [20], and about what’s in store at the newest coffee shop on wheels [24].
