Talamantes answered: “No.”
Talamantes, whose council district includes Sacramento’s Natomas and Northgate neighborhoods, Talamantes said in an interview that she wished the board would come back with actionable items to vote on, like a joint powers agency or another date to meet to discuss “next steps.”
She said that because of federal funding cuts, Sacramento and California will end up with more homeless people. |
Sacramento needs to act faster, she added.
“We need to treat it as an emergency, which homelessness is,” Talamantes said. “It’s a humanitarian crisis. And I just want us to move quicker.”
