Two case workers at a Long Beach homeless transition facility, one current and one former, say they raised red flags with their bosses and the city of Long Beach for months after eight of their clients died within a year.
They also say they met with Long Beach Homeless Manager Paul Duncan to discuss the high death rates and the dire need for medical and drug addiction assistance. Epstein said “support from nurse students and field instructors from Long Beach City College, ‘Healthcare in Action’ has been serving a few people on site and multiple people are receiving care through Echo Hospice.”
