City of Sacramento
Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Council approved the Comprehensive Siting Plan (CSP) on August 10, 2021.
This plan and associated Council guidance provided clear priorities for the City Manager with implementation authority. Consistent with Council direction, the City Manager has employed a whole City effort with synchronizing all departments for expeditious delivery of the most available sites in order to shelter and stabilize our homeless population. This oral report provides a status on the sites listed in the CSP as well as ongoing homeless services in support of Council goals.
Policy Considerations: The CSP implements the City’s Housing Element and the Central City Specific plan. The 2013-2021 Housing Element of General Plan includes goals (H-3.2 Special Needs) to house special needs populations including the homeless and (H-3.2.3 Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness and the Continuum of Care) to support efforts to meet the needs of homeless families and individuals. The CSP also implements adopted goals in the Central City Specific Plan goals including (Goal H.3 Homelessness) to pursue solutions to reduce homelessness that includes prevention, assertive outreach, shelter and housing. A second goal (H.3.3 Service Provider Coordination) states the City will continue to coordinate with Sacramento County, other cities and community service providers to serve the homeless.
And a third particularly relevant goal (H.3.5 Emergency Shelters) states the City will continue to support existing emergency shelters and additional shelter capacity both in the plan area and citywide. This proposed plan is also consistent with an objective of the current draft Housing Element to adopt a local Homeless Response Plan in coordination with community partners and the regional response on homelessness. The CSP also aligns with the federal directive and City commitment that funding for addressing homelessness follow a “housing first” approach, which offers permanent housing as quickly as possible for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Partnering with other City of Sacramento agencies to leverage resources and improve livability is consistent with the City Council’s past actions, budget allocations, and current direction.
