A Central Coast law enforcement agency is trying to be proactive in dealing with the homeless.
The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office has launched what it’s calling a “Community Action Team.” The team funded by the county will have two deputies solely focused on homelessness issues in unincorporated areas of the county.
The team will look for people who come in regular contact with patrol deputies, and will try to get them connected with social service to get them help with problems like mental health issues or substance abuse.
