Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On October 22, 2019, Housing Authority staff presented a Five Point Homeless Plan to address the growing homeless crisis in Sacramento. This Plan included the following options: 1) Scattered sites; 2) Safe parking Program; 3) Sleeping Tents/Cabins; 4) Motel Conversion; and 5) Permanent Supportive Housing. This item was subsequently discussed and unanimously supported at City Council on December 3, 2019.
On December 5, 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom launched a 100-day challenge for California Cities to jumpstart action to fight homelessness. A Declaration of a Shelter Crisis was adopted by City Council on January 14, 2020, suspending state/ local regulatory statute or regulation prescribing standards of housing, health, or safety, for public facilities that could delay mitigation measures in place to alleviate the shelter crisis.
Emergency Bridge Housing
Upon approval in February 2020, the Housing Authority moved quickly to identify shelter beds and established a 2-year tiny home initiative in Council District 2 for disconnected homeless youth between the age of 18-24. $5.6 million of State Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention 1 (HHAP 1) funds were received to launch this initiative for a two-year period. Privately owned property at 2787 Grove Avenue adjacent to St. Paul’s Church of God in Christ was identified to establish 24 tiny homes (cabins) for the youth.
Site preparation was completed in record-breaking time. The Housing Authority entered into an agreement with First Step Communities (FSC) to be the operator of the cabin community. Originally the EBH site was proposed for 48 homeless youth with double occupancy of the 24 tiny homes; however, due to the pandemic, insurance restrictions, and the significant behavioral health issues faced by many of the youth the cabins have single occupancy unless it is a familial type relationship.
The site opened on June 10, 2020.
Through a youth centric coordinated entry model, the youth (guests) are partnered with service providers such as Wind Youth Services, Lutheran Social Services, and Waking the Village. They are also in communication with FSC to coordinate residency of the youth at the cabin community when a unit becomes vacant.
FSC staff is on the property 24 hours a day. Operational responsibilities include but are not limited to

onsite 24-hour security, providing 3 meals a day, laundry, hygiene, sanitation, and community engagement services. Individualized case management is provided in coordination with social service agencies and other community-based organizations to include assistance for employment, transportation, health and wellness care, and behavioral health care. Re-housing and employment efforts begin upon entry with the goal to successfully transition the youth into housing within six to 12 months.
Working with disconnected homeless youth is challenging however significant progress was made during the last 24 months to stabilize and prevent them from falling back into homelessness (and ultimately becoming chronically homeless). The majority of the two-year operation was during the pandemic which limited the outcomes that needed to be accomplished. However, many youths were successful in securing housing and employment with the assistance of FSC and their providers.
From June 10, 2020 - July 31, 2022:
237 Guests admitted
79 Chronically homeless*
16,813 Bed nights provided
52,390 Guest meals provided
*
Individual has been homeless continuously for at least 12 months or on at least four separate occasions in the last three years, where the combined occasions total a length of time of at least 12 months.
As of August 31, 2022, 129 guests are housed and 68 have arrived with/gained employment.
Type Numbers
Permanent Housing 71
Temporary Housing 33
Transitional Housing 14
Institutionalized 11
Arrived with/gained employment 68
The youth have secured jobs at businesses such as Chili’s, Loaves and Fishes, FedEx, Chick-Fil-A, Shasta Linen, Harbor Freight Tools, Subway, Macy’s and many other companies.
The cabin initiative is a successful housing model for homeless youth and is recommended for renewal for an additional year. Recently the adjacent land at 2771 Grove Avenue became available enabling staff to increase the number of cabins from 24 to 50 and increasing the number of youth being housed.
In record time utilizing State ESG-CV funds, staff designed, prepared the site, purchased a community building, restroom trailers, fenced the property, and built 26 additional cabins. The 26 cabins are equipped with beds, limited storage space, heating and air conditioning and are ready to be occupied by additional homeless youth. Economies of scale is achieved by operating adjacent sites with the same operator.
File ID: 2022-01668 10/11/2022 Discussion Item 4.
The annual cost to operate and serve approximately 70 youth in 50 cabins (as some are in familial relationships) is $3,250,763. The breakdown is as follows:
Services Annual Costs
Service Operator staff and services (meals) $2,111,263
Lease with church $109,200
Maintenance $150,000
Utilities $66,500
Contingency $100,000
Re-housing funds $210,000
Navigator $74,800
Camera installation and ongoing costs $59,000
Direct staff delivery $277,500
Indirect staff costs $92,500
Total Costs $3,250,763
Due to the pandemic $723,500 of HHAP 1 cost savings was achieved and these funds were used to keep EBH operations continuing past June 2022 (two-year mark) and provide seamless services to the youth. In addition, $220,486 of 2022 ESG City Entitlement and $138,269 of 2021 State ESG Entitlement funds were also utilized to keep the program running past the two-year period; however, funds have run out.
The City has applied for State Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention 3 (HHAP 3) funds for various homeless initiatives including funding the shelters and a decision from the state is pending at this time. Once awarded (anticipated to be in the Fall), additional time is needed for the City to negotiate and enter into a contract with the State and receive the funds before transferring it to the Housing Authority. It is anticipated that funds will be available to the Housing Authority in Winter 2022/Early 2023.
In the meantime, operations must continue at the shelter and ESG-CV2 and 2023 CDBG and 2023 ESG funds have been identified to provide seamless services to the guests with all the original supportive services. The funds currently being requested will pay the costs through June 2023.
Indirect staff costs cannot be charged to ESG or CDBG funds so $92,500 of ARPA Reinvestment (1003) are requested to pay for these costs.

Meadowview Navigation Center
In August 2019, the Council directed City staff to move forward with a homeless shelter in Meadowview located at 2812 Meadowview Road to house up to 100 women and children. Since that meeting it was decided that only adult homeless women would be sheltered at this site and SHRA would oversee the administration of the shelter operations.
In 2019 the City in partnership with Housing Authority staff received $6 million of State Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention 1 (HHAP 1) funds for the operation of this shelter. The City Public Works Department administered the construction of the site and the shelter was open to the first guests on October 1, 2020. The campus includes 2 Sprung Structures: one for dining and the other for the dormitory, with accompanying restrooms, showers, and administrative space. Three daily meals are provided, and kennels are available for a limited number of pets.
The goal of the Meadowview shelter is to house unsheltered homeless women, understand their barriers to housing, stabilize them with services, link them to income resources as necessary, and help them find suitable stable housing. The shelter operates from a housing first, low-barrier approach to provide services and housing support. Priority is given to women living in the surrounding area.
Volunteers of America (VOA) was awarded the contract to operate this shelter as they have extensive prior experience working with homeless women, connecting them to services and stably housing them in the community. VOA works closely with many partners to provide resources to the women.
Downtown Streets team works with the guests to provide them with basic employment skills and to clean the area around the shelter. Sacramento Steps Forward assists with referrals to the shelter prioritizing those in the surrounding area. Re-housing and employment efforts (if appropriate) begin upon entry with the goal to successfully transition the guests into housing within six to 12 months.
Two years of operations have passed, most of which were during the pandemic. Like any congregate setting, the shelter periodically had guests who contracted the COVID-19 virus. The shelter followed County Public Health guidelines and on numerous occasions during the two-year period the shelter shut down with no new intakes to ensure that the COVID-19 virus was contained and didn’t spread throughout the site. Two pallet homes are onsite to provide immediate isolation. In addition, the pandemic impacted guests’ access to services and housing.
Despite these challenges, many achievements were accomplished.
From October 1, 2020 - August 1, 2022:
643 Guests admitted
File ID: 2022-01668 10/11/2022 Discussion Item 4.
310 Chronically homeless
38,555 Bed nights provided
65,175 Guest meals provided
158 women are currently housed and 71 arrived with/gained employment.
Type Numbers
Permanent Housing 111
Temporary Housing 37
Transitional Housing 1
Institutionalized 9
Arrived with/gained employment 71
The total project costs are $3,578,800 and the City applied for HHAP3 funding for continued operations of the shelter however these funds are not anticipated until Winter 2022/Early 2023.
Current funds are running out and to provide seamless services to the guests $279,688 of funds are needed immediately for continued operations through December 2022. This is a combination of $203,933 of ESG-CV2, $63,000 of 2022 CDBG, and $12,755 of 2023 ESG funds. The remaining gap of $3,299,112 would be filled with HHAP3 funds when awarded.

Policy Considerations: The actions recommended in this report are consistent with the Homeless Services Funding Plan approved by Council on April 23, 2019, to have a sleeping cabin community for disconnected homeless youth and shelters for the homeless.
Recommendations are also consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order N-23-20 to reduce street homelessness, break down barriers to homeless individuals accessing health care and other critical services, and to increase housing options for those experiencing homelessness.
Economic Impacts: Not applicable.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): These low barrier navigation projects are not discretionary actions subject to the CEQA pursuant to Government Code §§ 65660 & 65662 and are exempt as projects necessary to mitigate an emergency pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15269(c). Operations of an existing facility are exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): The proposed actions are categorically excluded under NEPA pursuant to 24 CFR 58.25(b)(2) and (3).
Sustainability: Upon evaluation of the success of the cabin initiative, the initial pilot is recommended for scaling up with a goal of self-sufficiency. .
Commission/Committee Action: Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission: The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission approved the recommendation of this item at its October 5, 2022 meeting.
Rationale for Recommendation: The City of Sacramento declared a shelter crisis emergency indicating that there are not enough beds to serve individuals experiencing homelessness and shelter beds need to be made available as soon as possible. The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness recommends that “shelters must be low barrier, focus on assessment and triage, and intentionally link to permanent housing resources so that people move through to housing quickly.” The Housing Authority oversaw the administration of the first phase and their significant experience in providing housing to low-income residents makes the agency a natural partner to continue to assist the City in meeting the goal of providing shelter and re-housing for individuals experiencing homelessness in Sacramento.
Financial Considerations: The initial cost to operate 24 sleeping cabins at EBH was approximately $2.8 million annually. The estimated total for operating 50 cabins is approximately $3.3 million annually. The additional costs are related to operating a larger facility with additional youth, more meals, services, competitive salaries to hire new staff, providing cost of living salary increases for existing staff, addition of mental health staff, higher lease payments, and additional re-housing funds.
The annual cost to operate the Meadowview Center was $3.1 million. The current annual estimate to
File ID: 2022-01668 10/11/2022 Discussion Item 4.
operate this shelter is $3.6 million. This considers increasing overall operating costs for vendors, contingency funds, costs to hire staff with competitive salaries, and cost of living increases for existing staff.
For indirect staff costs, the City will use $92,500 in ARPA Reinvestment (1003) funds. Under Section 3 of Resolution No. 2021-0313, approved by City Council on October 19, 2021, the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee is authorized to allocate $112.2 million in ARPA funds to provide government services. In Section 4, the City Manager is authorized to establish the appropriate grant, multi-year, and capital improvement projects. The $92,500 will be reallocated into a new multi-year project.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Minority and Women’s Business Enterprise requirements will be applied to all activities to the extent required by federal funding to maintain that federal funding.
Section 3 requirements will be applied to the extent as may be applicable.
