Sacramento city, county leaders meet to address homelessness crisis
Coming out of Tuesday’s meeting, however, Sacramento City Councilmember Karina Talamantes said she didn’t feel the discussion went far enough to define next steps and set clear goals for how to move forward.

She voted “no” when asked by a moderator if the session made real progress.

“Given the looming state and federal budget cuts that were presented today, we need to move with much greater urgency on homelessness because we have to do more with less money and resources,” she said. “I had hoped we’d leave this workshop with clearer direction on a shared governance model, but while there was interest, no one fully committed to forming a Joint Powers Authority.”
