Sacramento Steps Forward

Our society has a long history of systemic barriers and racial inequities, which has led to stark disparities. The 2024 Point-in-time Count in Sacramento County found that Black individuals are 3–4 times more likely to experience homelessness compared to their share of the residential population. We are working to end inequities in our community. Ready to be part of the solution?

Federal funding plays a crucial role in supporting housing, shelter, and services for people experiencing homelessness. While a recent funding freeze raised concerns, a judge has blocked it until further review, enabling vital programs to continue. Sacramento Steps Forward remains committed to ensuring our partners and community have the latest information. Our Federal Funding and Policy Updates webpage provides regular updates to keep you informed and prepared as we navigate these changes together. Stay updated: https://bit.ly/3WSMdi5
