Indigenous, Black, and Disabled People Are Increasingly Over-represented in the population of unhoused in Sacramento. Black families with children are more than half of the families that are unhoused.
Nothing just happens- For generations, Black and Non-White people denied by law and policies: home ownership, intergenerational wealth, economic opportunities that created a dependency on social services safety nets to be housed and to get other basic needs to survive. The fragmented family structure and lack of viable economics due to systemic oppression is reflected in the overwhelming amounts of Black families unhoused seen in Sactown, today.
The City and County of Sacramento were selected to participate in the Cities and Counties for Fine and Fee Justice initiative for Fees and Fine Reduction and Reform. Some of our unhoused and those who are housed have technology limitations to attend the on-line reform meetings. CLAP Community Lead Advocacy Program, All Of Us or None, and our community advocates want to assure the feedback of our unsheltered who have been impacted by fines or fees are also heard. We have upcoming Reach Outs so contact us if you would like to be a part of these efforts. Fill out the survey below if you are or were unhoused and were impacted by local fines.
