Gov. Jerry Brown granted a 90-day extension Tuesday for the two emergency homeless shelters operated each night throughout the winter at the National Guard armories in Santa Ana and Fullerton.

The move comes as county officials scramble to find enough shelter beds for people displaced from the Santa Ana riverbed and people who are being moved from the Santa Ana Civic Center. Each armory shelters 200 people each night but the homeless people must leave early each morning.

Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Fullerton) said she, along with Assemblyman Tom Daly (D-Anaheim) and Santa Ana Councilwoman Michelle Martinez worked to get the proposal in front of Brown.

Orange County will continue using the two National Guard armories as temporary homeless shelters during the night for another 90 days, a move deemed necessary to meet a federal judge’s wishes to shelter the people displaced from longtime encampments at the Santa Ana River and Santa Ana’s Civic Center.

The California Military Department gave its approval earlier this week to the rare request.

The winter shelter programs at both the Santa Ana and Fullerton armories were scheduled to end Sunday, April 15 with the arrival of warmer weather, as typically happens every year at all 10 armories used as homeless shelters statewide. But county officials asked for another 90 days to continue operating the facilities as a place for homeless people to sleep at night.
