Welcome to Sacramento, homelessness capital of California
to US$191-million between 2019 and 2021. Many are asking why there has been so little progress in bringing numbers down with so much money being spent to address the problem.
But there is little question that Sacramento is lagging other cities in the state in terms of delivering affordable housing. A report from May, 2022, by the non-profit California Housing Partnership found Sacramento County has a shortfall of nearly 60,000 affordable homes for its lowest-income renters. Some politicians are tiring of the slow pace of progress and demanding to see tangible results before the city receives further homelessness grants.
The fact that Sacramento has leapfrogged San Francisco’s homeless population has surprised many, given that it was long viewed as a more affordable community. In Sacramento County, thethat the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment rose 30 per cent between January, 2019, and 2022 – from $1,005 to $1,302, according to the website Apartment List. People struggling with housing costs in San Francisco started moving into the Sacramento area. It has had a domino effect.
