Sacramento's future is at stake.

Regional collaboration is needed to  coordinate a plan to focus on a solution-oriented approach to homelessness.

People are dying and it is only getting worse. 

The stark reality is that there are deadly consequences that result from being homeless. On average, a homeless person in Sacramento County loses an estimated 25% of their life expectancy* simply by being homeless. 

Providing dignity and safety requires a close examination of homelessness in Sacramento County.

Sacramento needs a
multi-jurisdictional plan. 

Measurable, permanent solutions benefit everyone.

​

Addressing the needs of the unhoused in Sacramento County requires a collaborative, multi-jurisdictional solution whereby the County and the cities within it partner to contribute skills, staff, and resources toward finding a solution with a clear, shared vision.    

​

We have an opportunity to prioritize outreach and services to address the complex needs of our homeless. We urgently need local leaders to act to solve this crisis, in all of our neighborhoods.

We cannot afford to wait. We need solutions now that ensure a safe, accessible future for everyone’s recovery. This is an 'all of us' issue.  

​

Sacramento neighborhoods and businesses need relief.

Sacramento must be safe, clean and welcoming for everyone. 

Providing services for our most vulnerable requires a strong economy that will generate the necessary funds. Sacramento businesses and corridors provide critical revenue that fund public services for all.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, business revenues accounted for just over
60% of the City of Sacramento’s General Fund revenue.
