Sacramento Press: The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors and the Sacramento City Council are moving forward with their plan to implement a new two-tier organization to continue the fight against homelessness.
Current funding at The Sacramento County Department of Human Assistance will run out June 30, 2011. The new organization will be a two-tiered public-private collaboration to fight homelessness in the city and county.
Mayor Kevin Johnson introduced his homeless liaison, Ann Moore, at his weekly press conference Tuesday. Moore is the former executive director of the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency.
“Our intent is to set up a new joint nonprofit/JPA (Joint Powers Agency) with a goal of having it fully operational by the end of this fiscal year,” said Moore. “The actions today at the (County) Board of Supervisors and the (City) Council will actually start the process
going.”
The new organization is scheduled to take over The Homeless Continuum of Care by July 1, 2011. The CoC oversees many county programs in the fight against homelessness.
