Sacramento City Council Howard Chan raised an alarm this week about funding for the city’s existing homeless shelters even as the City Council pushes to open more large sites to address the community’s growing homelessness crisis.

Chan this week told the council the city can’t count on having the $33 million it needs to provide the roughly 1,000 spaces it currently offers past July 1.

Sacramento County has an estimated 10,000 unhoused individuals, and all shelter beds and spaces are full on any given night.

Brandonville.

Where are we going to put all the Ukranians?

Don’t worry, they won’t vote democrat.

So they won’t be let in.

But they would be MUCH better additions to our population than the ‘refugees’ that we ARE importing.

Well hell, isn’t the solution obvious??

Give ‘em a bologna sammich and bus ‘em down to San Fran freeko.

[glennaro]

Many “homeless sites” (i.e., trash dumps) are along the American River and the Sacramento River, turning portions of those beautiful resources into an open sewer.

[V_TWIN]

That’s right they won’t be let in just like the Cubans.

Anybody coming from or being oppressed by a commie country knows communism doesn’t work so we can’t have them here.

I thought Gruesome Newsome spent a billion bucks on homelessness.?

Give them rifles, free crack pipes and crack and send them to Ukraine.

[Seruzawa]

Yeah, but it all goes to administrative costs.

[Mariner]

Too stupid to realize they get more of what they subsidize.

[Magnetar]

Consultant business is bleeding California dry.

[DIRTYSECRET]

1000 homeless. $33 million. Will someone here please o the math?

[SaxxonWoods]

“I thought Gruesome Newsome spent a billion bucks on homelessness.?”

He did. It worked. He’s got more of them than ever.

How much could a bunch of one way tickets to San Fransicko possibly cost? H3ll, charter a bus and hand out a bottle of free booze and a pack of smokes to all borders.

But I suspect there is an industry here. I heard San Fran spends over $80K per year per homeless.

It ain't all going for blankets, cots and meals.

[PGR88]

left wing governments seem to have an ideological priority to focus on the smallest divisible groups in their society

They seem to have completely forgotten about government for ALL citizens

35 billion going to Ukraine. At least Hunter won’t run out of meth money.

[Vigilanteman]

Silly rabbit! Don't you know that for libtards, it is never enough no matter how high it goes.

That's why states like North Dakota or Iowa or Utah can spend modestly on public education and graduate kids who are literate but big blue cities can spend much, much more and can't.

[Vigilanteman]

$33,000 each. Only 40% of what San Fransicko spends. See my previous post.

[bobbo666]

Yah, but every homeless program here in CaCaLAnd is skimmed. Only a few % makes its way to the actual streets — where it is spent on clean needles.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

Right you are. Subsidize single, unmarried mothers and you get more of them.

"...It ain't all going for blankets, cots and meals...

Yeah. Except for blankets, guest cots, and meals at fancy oceanfront mansions belonging to Leftist Skimmers.
