The Childrens Receiving Home took a neutral position on this project with the understanding that during 90 day “trial period” the city would demonstrate no impacts to their program. (See document at link provided)
Our neighborhoods surrounding the site also should be ensured that there will be no negative impacts as a result of this. Please report any and all concerns accordingly. Websites for city and county provided for reference below.

Q: Who can I call with a concern or complaint regarding encampments established by persons experiencing homelessness?
A: Generally, in the City of Sacramento (City), concerns or complaints regarding an encampment occupied by persons experiencing homelessness should be directed to 311. Such encampments include those located on City-owned property, including parks, as well as occupied vehicles on City streets. The Department of Community Response (DCR) provides an alternative response that effectively transfers calls that do not require a law enforcement or fire response to DCR’s teams of social workers and outreach specialists. Via 311, DCR staff may respond to persons experiencing homelessness in need of mental health services, with substance use disorders, and other calls for service that are not criminal in nature and that do not present an immediate safety issue. Individuals in need of services, service information and resources, including, but not limited to, COVID-19 resources, should direct requests to 211.
Reports of criminal activity—which does not include the act of camping on public property—should be directed to the Sacramento Police Department at (916) 808-5471. Reports of an emergency should be directed to 911.
Concerns or complaints regarding encampments located in Sacramento County parks should be directed to the Sacramento County Park Rangers at (916) 875-PARK (7275).
Concerns or complaints regarding encampments located on California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) property should be directed to CalTrans at https://csr.dot.ca.gov
Concerns or complaints regarding encampments located on Regional Transit (RT) property should be directed to RT at (916) 556-0275.
Concerns or complaints regarding encampments located on Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) property should be directed to UPRR police at (888) 877-7267.
