Sacramento wants to move a group of homeless residents to a new riverfront camp. Some worry it will flood
Sacramento officials hope to relocate [a community of homeless people] to an adjacent riverfront property, owned by the Sierra Health Foundation. City contractors would provide security and help connect residents with longer-term housing, mental health and addiction services. But residents on “the island,” as they call the encampment, are worried about change. They say the small patch of land might not be big enough — and could flood.
