Mayor Johnson still working on a solution to resolve homelessness

Published: 1 years 298 days ago

Sacramento Press:  Mayor Kevin Johnson said he is disappointed that finding housing for
Sacramento’s homeless has not progressed as much as he anticipated, when speaking on the issues of SafeGround in a press conference Tuesday.

“I am disappointed that we are not further along,” Johnson said. “This is not about finger pointing, this is about all of us collectively together figuring out a way that we get to were we need to be.”

It has been a year since Johnson camped out with Sacramento’s homeless community and launched a plan to find 2,400 housing units for homeless people during the next three years.

Today Johnson still holds to that commitment and is still working to find a solution to combat homelessness in Sacramento.

“It’s about trust and credibility,” Johnson said. “Regardless of what the issues have been that have precluded us or impeded us from getting us to were we need to be, as mayor I want to be accountable, and I want to make sure that we get there.”
