Taking notes from activists who pressured Seaside City Council into reframing the idea of public safety, the city now has their very own social services worker. Derrick Elder, family and community support practitioner for Seaside, third from left, speaks with other agency repreesentatives visiting a parking lot encampment for unhoused people during the pandemic. Additional outreach efforts included members from the Monterey County Health Department, All-In Monterey and CSUMB’s Community Health Engagement team. The encampment, on Col. Durham Street, is set to close on June 15.
