The City of Sacramento has released its weekly progress report for the City's Incident Management Team responding to homelessness.
From Aug. 12-18, the City of Sacramento received 614 calls to 311 customer service related to unsheltered individuals.
Through the work of the IMT, 812 calls were closed, meaning that either the issue was remedied, compliance was achieved, or the issue no longer existed when City staff inspected the site.
In terms of outreach, staff from the City's Department of Community Response enrolled 85 people into shared local databases that match them with shelters and other resources.
In addition, 20 people were placed into the City's Roseville Road campus or the Outreach and Engagement Center.
As of Aug. 20, there were zero Pallet homes and 11 trailers available at the Roseville Road campus as well as 16 spaces available at the Outreach and Engagement Center. There was an average of 16 openings at City funded shelters (excluding the Roseville Road campus and the OEC.)
Regarding waste removal, the City cleaned up 135,560 pounds of trash.
Members of the IMT, including the Sacramento Police Department's IMPACT team, achieved compliance 75 times for calls involving sidewalk obstruction, unlawful storage, unlawful camping and other issues.
