In Sacramento County and across the country, people of color experience homelessness at disproportionately higher rates because of historic and ongoing inequities.
In Sacramento, Black/African Americans are three times more likely to experience homelessness than the general population. Meanwhile, American Indian and Alaskan Natives are four times more likely to experience homelessness than the general population.
Sacramento Steps Forward and the Sacramento Continuum of Care (CoC) are committed to ending racial inequities in our homeless response system.
In 2021, we launched the Racial Equity (REQ) Committee to uncover the scope, causes, and potential solutions of race serving as a predictor for homelessness in Sacramento.
As we step into this brave leadership space to enhance racial equity in our homelessness system of care, we are excited to share this committee’s work. We will elevate the voices of those who are contributing to this community-wide effort and advocate for meaningful change.
