Everyone in Sacramento has a story of how homelessness has touched their lives. We all recognize the need for aggressive and humane steps that change the narrative that homelessness is hopeless. It is a human tragedy and an issue affecting businesses and neighborhoods, and continues to weigh on our collective social conscience. Compounding this tragedy is the fact we already know what works: assertive community outreach; intensive case management; and permanent housing coupled with the services people need to transition out of homelessness for good.
