Sac Mayor Pro Tem Angelique Ashby's Homeless Plan in District 1

Listen: Mayor Pro Tem Angelique Ashby is in partnership with the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) and Jamboree Housing Corporation with plans for a homeless housing project in District 1.

For over a year, SHRA and Mayor Pro Tem Ashby have had conversations with Jamboree Housing Corporation, an affordable housing developer with 30 years of experience in residential development, about the conversion of a hotel in District 1 that meets all the criteria for Project Homekey funding. Recently, the hotel was secured with a purchase and sale agreement to move forward.

SHRA and Jamboree Housing Corporation will be working closely with the school district to ensure students receive a quality education and that the cycle of homelessness is broken for children. This project will be service rich to accommodate families with resident services staff.
