SACRAMENTO COUNTY
In Sacramento we provide a variety of services for our neighbors experiencing homelessness that include street outreach, case management, housing navigation, interim housing, and referrals to partnering local programs.
CURRENT SACRAMENTO COUNTY SERVICES
-
Street outreach is a way to build rapport and trust with people experiencing homelessness, utilizing whole-person care, mental health and behavioral health first aid, trauma-informed care, harm reduction, housing first principles, de-escalation, motivational interviewing, and progressive engagement.
-
Case management activities assess housing and service needs and arrange, coordinate, and/or monitor the delivery of individualized services. Specific activities include:
• Assessment and intake using HMIS
• Conducting initial evaluations including verifying and documenting eligibility
• Counseling
• Developing/securing/ coordinating services
• Helping obtain Federal, State, and local benefits
• Monitoring and evaluating program participant progress in particular programs
• Providing information and referrals to other providers
• Developing an individualized housing stabilization plan (see also the housing preparation section below) that leads to the attainment of stable permanent housing.
-
City Net began CalAIM services in 2023, where we connected persons experiencing homelessness to housing through state funds from the Department of Health Care Services that did not cover the costs for supportive services or move-in assistance. The CalAIM Community Supports programs allow us to supplement our contracts to immediately serve our clients in need to provide Housing Transition/Navigation Services, Housing Deposits, and Housing Tenancy and Sustain Services (the “Housing Trio”). To contact our CalAIM Team, please reach out to CalAIM@citynet.org or call/text our CalAIM hotline number, (888) 224-8102.
-
Housing Navigation provides end‐to‐end support—conducting needs assessments and budgeting, completing applications and securing required documentation, overcoming credit or legal barriers, and facilitating introductions to landlords and neighborhoods—while case managers address housing histories, family dynamics, and other readiness factors to successfully match clients with stable housing.
-
We operate bridge housing in different communities to address the immediate housing needs of people experiencing homelessness through rental units in which utilities, case management, and other wraparound services are provided.
-
City Net has a proven track record of operating small, medium, and large-scale low-barrier bridge and emergency non-congregate shelters and service centers.
Non-congregate shelters allow shelter guests increased safety, health, privacy, and dignity that a congregate shelter would not, and because each individual and/or household has their own space, it also fosters community in common gathering spaces.
It always complies with all ADA standards for its sites. It provides full client services as well as living amenities including but not limited to linens, laundry facilities, meal provision, community gathering spaces, client storage, private meeting spaces for case management and housing navigation, 24-hour security, janitorial services, pest control, and overall site management.
