The city of Santa Ana is planning to remove a homeless encampment after a contract was violated by a nonprofit that previously agreed to clear the space.
El Centro de Cultural de México, a cultural center on 837 N. Ross St., has been allowing at times more than 40 homeless people to sleep on its parking lot since early 2020. The encampment has sparked concerns among nearby residents and businesses, who’ve complained about trash, noise, and excrement being left in alleys.
