The City of Sacramento has released its weekly progress report for City’s Incident Management Team responding to homelessness.
From Jan. 1-7, the City of Sacramento received 727 calls to 311 customer service related to unsheltered individuals.
Through the work of the IMT 731 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 78 people into shared local databases that match them with shelters and other resources.
In addition, 18 people were placed into the Miller Park Safe Ground or the Outreach and Engagement Center.
As of Jan 9, there were no tents available at Miller Park, as guests there have been transitioned to the City’s new Roseville Road campus. There were 15 spaces available at the Outreach and Engagement Center and an average of 26 openings at City funded shelters (excluding Miller Park and the OEC.)
Regarding waste removal, the City cleaned up 241,530 pounds of trash along with 1,872 needles.
Members of the IMT, including the Sacramento Police Department’s IMPACT team, achieved compliance 146 times for calls involving sidewalk obstruction, unlawful storage, unlawful camping and other issues.
