Dear Community,
On May 26th, the Sacramento Continuum of Care (CoC) Board welcomed more than 100 community members to its first annual meeting.
This future-focused forum brought together Sacramento's elected leadership, CoC Board members, homeless service providers, people with lived experience of homelessness, and members of our community. We heard voices from people with lived experience of homelessness, and expertise from providers who offer services to our community.
We discussed our system's efforts to end homelessness and charted a course for how our community can work together to make the greatest impact. In three focused sessions, we gathered input from our diverse stakeholders to improve our community's coordinated entry system, collaborate on addressing gaps in the system, and advance racial equity.
Together with our community, we identified bold aspirations, including building collective momentum toward achieving more coordination, creating broad access to services, accelerating racial equity, and building shared data. We will take this input to the CoC Board to translate these goals into meaningful changes.
It is through these convenings and information sharing sessions that our community can address the crisis of homelessness together. We encourage you to watch the recording of this meeting on our webpage.
Regards,
