HUNTINGTON Beach, Westminster and Midway City will be helping to provide housing for the homeless.

Huntington Beach will be one of the the north Orange County cities offering to provide additional shelter to the homeless, but the location won’t be in Surf City.

On Wednesday, Anaheim, Huntington Beach and Santa Ana committed to 700 new beds to house the unhoused. Santa Ana will be replacing the 400-bed courtyard shelter with a new 700-bed facility.

Anaheim with 200 beds presently, will add 325 more.

Huntington Beach will do its part by adding 75 beds in Midway City through a joint funding deal with Westminster and Midway City. There are currently 20 shelter beds in Midway City.

South county cities have made no commitments or offers to provide housing for the homeless, but mayors from that area have promised to meet soon on the issue.
