Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The initial EBH initiative was a two-year program from June 1, 2020, to May 31, 2022, to shelter transitional-aged youth (TAY) in 24 cabins on Grove Avenue. The Meadowview Center was a two-year program from October 1, 2020, until September 30, 2022, to shelter 100 homeless women. Both initiatives were entirely funded by State Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Phase 1 (HHAP 1) funds.
In 2022 City staff applied for State HHAP 3 funds to keep both initiatives operational for an additional year however the grant funds were not received by early October 2022 (which is past the two-year mark of both shelter operations) and HHAP 1 funds were running out. On October 11, 2022, the Housing Authority recommended leveraging $2.4 million of federal and local funds to continue operations for a six-month period and provide seamless services at both sites. Most of the funds were Emergency Solutions Grant Corona Virus funds (ESG-CV) and Community Development Block Grant funds and $92,500 was City American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Of the total, $2,168,508 was allocated to EBH and $279,688 to Meadowview Center.
On December 13, 2022, staff provided an update on the two initiatives and as HHAP 3 funds were still not available, City Council approved the re-allocation of $800,000 (from the $2,168,508 allocated to EBH) to the Meadowview Center so that both initiatives could continue operations until HHAP 3 funds are received from the State. With the re-allocation, EBH had $1,368,508 and the Meadowview Center had $1,079,688 to continue operations through April 2023.
In January 2023, the City received $6,840,800 in HHAP 3 funds from the State. Staff recommends the allocation of $3,262,000 to EBH and $3,578,800 to the Meadowview Center to continue operations for an additional year starting in May 2023.
Emergency Bridge Housing
In 2020, the City in partnership with Housing Authority staff received HHAP 1 funds for the operation

of the tiny homes (cabin) initiative. Upon Council approval of the initiative 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 HHAP 1 funds were received to launch this initiative for a two-year period.
Property at 2787 Grove Avenue owned by the 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 utilizing State ESG-CV funds and the site opened on June 10, 2020.
In 2022, the adjacent land at 2771 Grove Avenue became available. With the success of Phase 1, staff leveraged federal funds to build an additional 26 cabins for a total of 50 cabins. Staff designed and prepared the site, purchased a community building and restroom trailers, fenced the property, and built 26 additional cabins for a total of 50 cabins. These cabins are also equipped with beds, limited storage space, heating, and air conditioning and are currently occupied by 26 additional homeless TAY. Economies of scale are achieved by operating both sites with the same operator.
The Housing Authority entered into an agreement with First Step Communities (FSC) to be the operator of the cabin community. Originally the Phase 1 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 of relationship.
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. The providers work closely with FSC to coordinate the residency of the youth at the cabin community when a unit becomes vacant.
As the operator of the site, 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 assistance.
Working with disconnected homeless youth is challenging however significant progress was made during the last 2 years to stabilize and prevent them from falling back into homelessness (and ultimately becoming chronically homeless).
Most of the two-year operation was during the pandemic which limited the outcomes. However, many youths were successful in securing stable housing and employment with the assistance of FSC and their service providers. The cabin initiative is a successful housing model for homeless youth and is recommended for renewal for an additional year utilizing State HHAP 3 resources.

Meadowview Navigation Center
In 2020, the City in partnership with Housing Authority staff received $6 million of State Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Phase 1 (HHAP 1) funds for the operation of this shelter. The City Public Works Department administered the construction of the site, and the Housing Authority was asked to oversee the administration of the shelter operations. 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 Center is to house unsheltered homeless women, understand their barriers to housing, stabilize them with services, link them to income resources as necessary, and
File ID: 2022-02568 3/14/2023 Consent Item 2.
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 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 women. The Downtown Streets team works with the guests to develop basic employment skills and clean the area around the shelter. Sacramento Steps Forward staff is the conduit for referrals to the shelter through the coordinated access system, prioritizing homeless women in the surrounding area. Re-housing and employment efforts (if appropriate) begin upon entry to successfully transition the guests into housing within six to 12 months.
Currently, over two years of operations have passed, most of which was during the pandemic.
Despite these challenges, many accomplishments have taken place.
From October 1, 2020 - January 10, 2023:
738 Guests admitted
50,794 Bed nights provided
89,863 Guest meals provided

Both shelters periodically had guests/staff who contracted the COVID-19 virus. The City followed the County’s Public Health guidelines to keep all guests safe and reduce the spread of the virus. In the past when there were more than 3 guests/staff with the virus, it was considered an ‘outbreak’ and intake of new guests into the shelter was halted. At EBH the guests could ‘shelter in place’ in their tiny cabins.
As the Meadowview Center is a congregate shelter, guests were isolated in two onsite pallet homes or relocated to city contracted motels and the shelter was placed in lockdown mode. Currently, County Public Health has reduced COVID isolation protocols, and the shelter does not need to lock down when 3 guests/staff contract the virus. The guests are isolated onsite in the 2 pallet homes or transported to the City contracted motels.
At the December 13, 2022, Council meeting there was a discussion on the vaccination status of the guests entering city shelters. The discussion centered around whether homeless guests must be vaccinated to enter the City shelters or whether it would create an additional barrier to their transition out of homelessness. Staff was asked to bring back data on the vaccination status of the guests at the 3 shelters administered by the Housing Authority: EBH, Meadowview, and X Street Navigation Center.
As of January 23, 2023, here is the vaccination data based on questions asked of each guest during the intake process.
EBH Meadowview X Street
Not vaccinated 42% 20% 25%
Vaccinated 46% 31% 70%
Partial Vaccination 10% 6% 4%
Refused to answer 2% 43% 1%
Many of the guests are vaccinated though many are reticent to respond to the vaccination question in fear that they may not be accepted into the shelter with their pets and belongings. Staff does see the requirement to be vaccinated as a barrier to entering the shelter.
It should also be noted that the County Public Health has altered their COVID-19 protocol and does not require the shelters to close when 3 or more guests/staff have the virus. Instead, they request the guests to shelter in place or be isolated in motels/pallet homes.
Policy Considerations: The actions recommended in this report are consistent with the Homeless
File ID: 2022-02568 3/14/2023 Consent Item 2.
Services Funding Plan approved by City 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: Not applicable.
Commission Action: At its meeting of March 1, 2023, it is anticipated that the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission will recommend approval of the attached resolution(s). In the event it fails to do so, Staff will advise the City Council at the 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 oversees the administration of EBH and the Meadowview Center and recommends keeping them operational for an additional year to bring vulnerable individuals off the streets, stabilize them, and transition them to housing.
Financial Considerations: The initial cost to operate 24 cabins at EBH was $2.8 million annually.
The estimated total for operating 50 cabins is $3.3 million annually. The additional costs are related to operating a larger facility with double the youth, more meals and services, increased operating costs for the vendor, the addition of mental health staff, higher lease payments, and additional re-housing funds.
The annual cost to operate the Meadowview Center was $3 million. The current annual estimate to operate this shelter is $3.5 million. The additional costs are related to increasing overall operating costs for vendors.
LBE - M/WBE and Section 3 requirements: 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.
