The City of Sacramento has released its weekly progress report for City’s Incident Management Team responding to homelessness.
From Dec. 25-31, the City of Sacramento received 827 calls to 311 customer service related to unsheltered individuals.
Through the work of the IMT, 1,052 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 63 people into shared local databases that match them with shelters and other resources.
In addition, three people were placed into the Miller Park Safe Ground or the Outreach and Engagement Center.
