Four homeless moms fear they’ll be sleeping outside due to a change to the city motel shelter program.
They’re staying put, despite being told to leave.
The new program will require payment for some, and have a max stay of 6 months

I am among the McClatchy journalists withholding my byline from AI-generated content. I cover sensitive stories that should never be repackaged or altered in any way by artificial intelligence. Whether the story is about sexual abuse or immigrants caged at Alligator Alcatraz, our journalists take great care to ensure that their material is accurate, fair and conveys invaluable aspects of humanity that AI simply can't do.

I am honored to have earned the support of the Sacramento Area Firefighters, Local 522! There is no one I trust more than those who keep us safe, even while we’re sleeping.
Thank you Firefighters! Let’s go Sacramento!
Elk Grove is spending up to $350,000 per bed to build a new small homeless shelter.
The amount per bed is nearly triple the amount of the average cost per shelter bed for eight other Sacramento County shelters.
