See 47 sites across Sacramento being considered for homeless shelters, camps, tiny homes
Sacramento officials have identified dozens of sites across the city where homeless shelters, tiny homes, permitted camps and safe parking lots could be placed.
As part of Mayor Darrell Steinberg’s “homeless master plan,” all eight City Council members recently unveiled new potential sites to shelter homeless individuals in their districts.
If all the projects come to fruition, the result could be an extensive expansion of the city’s homeless program.
“This is only part one of our months-long effort to do something that I believe will be transformative for our city and this very serious problem,” Steinberg said during a council meeting Tuesday.
The list includes potential sites the council members floated for shelters, tiny homes, or Safe Ground camp sites. Safe Ground locations allow people to sleep in designated areas in tents or vehicles, and come with security, showers, bathrooms and services. The city has Safe Ground sites open under the W-X freeway and at Miller Park, but they are full.
Many of the listed sites still need approval from private property owners or government agencies, in addition to community outreach. Permanent and scattered site housing locations are not included in the list unless they are for tiny homes. Projects that are currently open or where the opening has been announced — such as a large shelter in Meadowview and one being built under the W-X freeway — are also not included in the list.
The council is expected to vote on the master plan — essentially a map marking properties across the city for potential homeless projects — in July. The Sacramento Bee compiled the sites named in the council presentations to see how the map is shaping up.
