Social Worker Action Group (SWAG) continues working within the City of Menifee
every Thursday and Friday. Working jointly with the Crime Prevention Officer and Park
Rangers they are making contact with homeless in the city and assisting them with
getting vital documents, housing vouchers, medical assistance, shelter, etc. They
continue to case manage many of the chronically homeless in the area by seeking
innovative solutions to each individual’s needs.

•Homeless Outreach
The homeless outreach team had some great achievements in February. Two street exits of
considerable note took place and the community has taken to social media to thank the efforts of
SWAG and the rest of our Menifee outreach partners. Early in the month one of our most chronically
homeless individuals in the community of Sun City accepted a shelter entry and plans to enter a six
month program to aid in her transition off the streets. More recently an individual recognized by many
throughout Menifee and the surrounding area was placed into supportive care and is on his way to
permanent housing solution. Since sharing his story on social media SWAG has received an outpouring
of support and people sharing stories of their interactions and observations with him over the last
several years. These posts have uncovered how one member of our community fell into homelessness
and the challenges he faced every day. It has taken numerous contacts and several attempts with each
of these clients but through persistence and determination the outreach team is helping to meet the
homelessness need in our community.
•Code Enforcement Training
The Community Services Department partnered again
with CACEO to host the Module II course of the Certified
Code Enforcement Officer Academy. The course was
attended by 28 code enforcement professionals,
including six City of Menifee staff. The course is one of
three 40 hour modules which covers topics such as;
Public Nuisance, Substandard Housing, Vehicle
Abatement, Zoning and Land Use Ordinances, and
Collection and Preservation of Evidence. CACEO training
staff noted that using Menifee as a training location has
shown to be a benefit to many surrounding
communities who sent officers to attend the training
from as far away as the Cities of Twentynine Palms and
Carlsbad. Several City staff were able to provide
professional knowledge which contributed to the very
highly rated training event.
