Why doesn’t Tustin partner with a shelter in Santa Ana for the 50 beds?

The City tried to partner with Santa Ana but the Federal Court prohibited that as part of the settlement.  This stemmed from Court’s and Santa Ana’s belief that all Orange County cities were bringing their homeless to Santa Ana, and one of their objectives is to stop the flow to, and concentration in, Santa Ana of homeless individuals.
