New online dashboard shows Sacramento City effort to reduce unsheltered homelessness and its impacts
Dashboard summary from the week of December 11, 2023
Sacramento, CA (Dec. 20, 2023) - The City’s new Incident Management approach to addressing homelessness is demonstrating real progress in reducing the size and impact of encampments.
A new data dashboard quantifies the scope of the work city teams are doing on the streets. Since the week of Sept. 25, the dashboard shows that outreach teams referred over 1,600 people to services. City crews and contractors cleaned up more than 3.1 million pounds of trash during that period. They were able to get people to voluntarily move their belongings more than 1,500 times to comply with city ordinances requiring that sidewalks be kept clear and buffer zones be maintained around critical infrastructure and buildings.
