The City’s Incident Management Team (IMT) received 651 calls for service last week and responded by engaging people experiencing homelessness, offering services and shelter options, and ensuring compliance with City laws and ordinances.
From March 16-22, the IMT responded to 727 unique locations. This work is supported by recent investments to enhance shelter capacity across the city.
Further underscoring Sacramento’s commitment to increasing shelter inventory, the City Council on Tuesday approved the purchase of 35 additional tiny homes to expand capacity at the Roseville Road Service Campus.
“These 35 additional tiny homes at Roseville Road are possible because of smart choices the City has made to shelter people cost effectively,” said Mayor Kevin McCarty. “Tiny homes are in high demand. People experiencing unsheltered homelessness prefer them to congregate shelters because of the privacy, dignity, and security they grant. We are meeting people where they are and getting more people off the streets faster.”
The $435,158 investment for the 35 tiny homes, funded through the State’s Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) program, will further expand the north side of the campus, operated by The Gathering Inn. The south side of the campus is operated by First Step Communities.
Step Up on Second and Sacramento County behavioral health specialists also have space on site, supporting the campus as a hub for services.
Launched in 2024, the Roseville Road Service Campus initially featured approximately 100 tiny homes and trailers for people experiencing homeless. The campus was expanded last year, replacing the trailers and adding 135 tiny homes.
With the latest addition of 35 tiny homes, the Roseville Road Service Campus will grow from 196 units to 231 units.
The purchase of the 35 units was made possible through negotiated cost savings from the purchase of 135 tiny homes, leveraging available funding made possible by the $12.4 million ERF grant awarded to the City’s Department of Community Response by the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
The State grant supports construction of tiny homes, infrastructure improvements and outreach for people experiencing unsheltered homelessness near the Sacramento Northern Parkway.
All units will include electricity, heating and air conditioning. The ERF grant also supports operations at the campus for two years.
These investments support ongoing outcomes at the site. From March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, the campus sheltered 303 individuals, with 166 exits, including 64 to permanent housing and 73 to improved situations.
As of March 24, 74 of the new tiny homes at the north campus are occupied by 86 individuals from the parkway, along with 25 pets. Residents continue to move into the new units as outreach teams coordinate placements. Approximately 75% of units are currently occupied.
Construction is expected to be completed later this year.
