2-Sacramento LGBT Community Center Agreement
Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Department of Community Response is recommending contracting with the Sacramento LGBT Community Center to provide the greatest level of service to support the most vulnerable in our community.
Homelessness is an issue that impacts communities without regard to geographic or political boundaries and for which there is no single answer or approach. Shelters play a significant role in addressing homelessness and as such it is necessary to create a systemic approach to addressing homelessness which includes low to no barrier crisis shelters. The City of Sacramento recognizes the important role that such shelters play in helping move people out homelessness and into permanent housing. To that end, DCR has contracted with the Sacramento LGBT Community Center to provide supportive services to Transitional Age Youth, ages 18-24, with Short-term Transitional Emergency Program (STEP).
