Today I am joining thousands of elected officials across the country who've taken the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge! The residents of District 7 see the effects of climate change every day, and I want to make very clear that I am putting the climate - and our health - first.

I take issue with the framing that people arenโt running bc itโs not โhipโ. I donโt think thatโs the primary reason people are hesitant to run.
I think itโs primarily a lack of funding sources that wonโt force folks to stray from what they know good for communities. Idk ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Shonn was a sweet and brave woman who deserved better than this. This was at an action over the summer, we were begging the city not to sweep Camp Resolution. She kept saying โIโm going to die if you do this.โ
They displaced Camp Resolution on Aug 28. Now Shonn is dead. Rest in Power we love you ๐

Are you concerned that the perception that you are "soft" on homelessness is going to cost you this mayoral race? For example, you've mentioned that you are against sweeping homeless camps. Residents are dealing with picking up used syringes during their kids' soccer games, having their property and personal safety threatened, getting assaulted, etc etc, while the mayor's office, county and state play hot potato with people's #1 issue. How much patience are you expecting from the city of Sacramento on this sense of lack of public safety?
flojaune OP
thank you for asking this question! I'm combining my responses here because you both asked similar things. I hope that's okay.
I am not soft on homelessness. What I am is more concerned with effectiveness than misperceptions. I am grateful for the long form space to dispell several.
Our housing crisis is caused by at least 13 different factors. Homelessness is as complex and the causes as multifaceted as the people experie
1) The overwhelming majority of people with mental health and substance use issues are housed.
Why am I mentioning that? Because mental health and substance use have a bi-directional arrow with homelessness. They may increase the risk of homelessness, but the experience of homelessness also creates and exacerbates mental health and substance use issues.
We need only too look at the pandemic to begin to understand this. As soon as stay-at-home policies were passed -- and we were all scared for our lives and many for our livelihoods -- the sales of alcohol skyrocketed. When we are stressed we turn to substances and our mental health suffers.
2) Sacramento county went from 2500 people experiencing homelessness in 2013 to 3900 in 2019 to 9278 in 2022.
And 57% of people experiencing homelessness have at least one chronic health condition.
3) We need plans that work. Not performances and theatrics.
We currently sweep people from block-to-block -- when we want to while swearing we don't
I am not saying it is okay for people to sleep on our porches, drop needles in our parks, or expose themselves in front of our schools.
I'm saying just because white men are the most likely demographic to shoot up public places, doesn't mean we should pass policies banning all white men from public spaces. In the same way that just because someone experiencing homelessness commits a crime doesn't mean we pass a ban on all people experiencing homelessness. Especially when we know that people experiencing homelessness are far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.
I'm saying that there is a much more cost-effective and solution-driven way to a crisis being driven by poverty than putting people in the county jail for trespassing where they will stay for 24 hours to 10 days and then be released at 2am without so much as a transit pass.
My immediate plan is to work with each neighborhood to identify sites and establish safe ground so we have a place where people and the
It isn't either/or. It is both/and. We should do what works for all of us and makes our communities healthy, not what is expedient and harmful in the long run.
As a public health professional, I have worked with people experiencing homelessness for years. What I have learned is this: I have yet to meet a person who is truly "service resistant." Even when people say no to an offer of services, it is always more complicated than that if we take time to understand. Just like NIMBYs are often more complicated than just saying no; there are valid fears and concerns behind their position that we can address if we listen. What I learn when I take time to establish trust and show respect is that behind the no is: They're frustrated, exasperated, sick, or distrustful. Frustrated because they've been on a list for years with not reprieve. Exasperated because what we have to offer is insufficient for their needs or hard to access. Too sick to move constantly -- or have processing issues that mak

Exactly the type of leadership Sacramento deserves. The type it needs. The type that prioritizes citizens and not corporate interests. That treats every, last, one of us as a priority to ensure consensus building.
