Transitional Shelter in Banning Faces Closure

The city of Banning is planning to close Opportunity Village, its only transitional shelter for unhoused residents, leaving dozens of people without a place to go.

The decision has sparked concern and uncertainty among shelter residents, as well as criticism from community members.

"Several of us have gotten full-time jobs, expecting housing and proper placement so we can afford our housing, but now we’re being told that’s not the case... I feel deceived."
says Milaiza, a resident at the shelter.

The shelter is set to close in 90 days, according to the city’s Director of Homeless Services.
