Assistant City Manager Mario Lara on Dec. 5 provided his weekly report to the City Council regarding the work of the City’s Incident Management Team responding to homelessness.

From Nov. 27-Dec. 3, the City of Sacramento received 767 calls to 311 customer service related to unsheltered individuals.

Through the work of the IMT, 599 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 189 people into shared local databases that match them with shelters and other resources.

In addition, 42 people were placed into the Miller Park Safe Ground or the Outreach and Engagement Center.

As of Dec. 5, there were five tents and five trailers available at Miller Park as well as five spaces available at the Outreach and Engagement Center. There was an average of 20 openings at City funded shelters (excluding Miller Park and the OEC.)

Regarding waste removal, the City cleaned up 909,400 pounds of trash along with 1,026 needles.

Members of the IMT, including the Sacramento Police Department’s IMPACT team, achieved compliance 162 times for calls involving sidewalk obstruction, unlawful storage, unlawful camping and other issues.
