Assistant City Manager Mario Lara on Nov. 28 provided his weekly report to the City Council regarding the work of the City’s Incident Management Team responding to homelessness.
From Nov. 20-26, the City of Sacramento received 802 calls to 311 customer service related to unsheltered individuals.
Through the work of the IMT, 869 calls were closed, meaning that either the issue was remedied, compliance was achieved, or the issue no longer existed when City staff inspected the site.
In terms of outreach, staff from the City’s Department of Community Response enrolled 136 people into shared local databases that match them with shelters and other resources.
In addition, 27 people were placed into the Miller Park Safe Ground or the Outreach and Engagement Center.
As of Nov. 28, there were 16 tents and three trailers available at Miller Park as well as eight spaces available at the Outreach and Engagement Center. There were an average of 16 openings at City funded shelters (excluding Miller Park and the OEC.)
Regarding waste removal, the City cleaned up 262,650 pounds of trash along with 1,172 needles.
Members of the IMT, including the Sacramento Police Department’s IMPACT team, achieved compliance 14 times for calls involving sidewalk obstruction, unlawful storage, unlawful camping and other issues.
