Sactown Needs An Ombudsperson Team For Housing
Sactown is in dire need of an ombudsperson team to address the inequities, complaints, and issues within housing programs and services for the community. It would be an Independent collective of qualified Sacramento community members entirely representative of the community members most impacted in Sacramento by racial, gender, and geographical marginalization in disparities for housing/services.
An independent collective would be completely impartial with no financial or relational conflict of interest to housing services to halt and prevent gatekeeping, retaliation, and exploitation that trickles down to impacted community members who should be supported.
The Independent Collective will have regulatory power with housing programs and services with the ability to:
- Provide individuals with a confidential avenue to address inequities, complaints, abuse of rights, contested decisions, resolve issues with programs for housing and services
- Serve as housing liaisons with outside agencies, neighborhoods groups, and the bridge between the City and County of Sacramento programs
CLAP wants to hear from community voices!!
What would you add to the role of a strong team to support the needs of our community members facing barriers for housing?
Fill out the CLAP Needs Assessment below where we have added this due to the continuous preventative barriers within housing and service programs that are required to support.
