The first city-owned travel trailer arrived Monday at the Camp Resolution homeless encampment in North Sacramento.
The self-governing camp recently signed a lease agreement with the city of Sacramento that allows the tight-knit community to stay on the property at Arden Way and Colfax Street until every resident can be placed in permanent, stable housing.
The trailers, which can sleep three people, were given to the city by the California Office of Emergency Services in 2020 to quarantine COVID-positive homeless men and women at Cal Expo. They had been sitting vacant since 2021 before the city decided to deploy 15 of them to a homeless safe ground site in Miller Park earlier this year.
The first city trailer at Camp Resolution will be used for administration at the camp. Dozens more trailers are expected to arrive at the encampment under the lease agreement, which also allows for the continued use of the residents’ cars, RVs and tents at the site.
“This is going to help us be able to keep people’s needs and confidentiality when we are trying to service folks,” said Crystal Sanchez, president of the Sacramento Homeless Union.
Anthony Prince, the attorney for the California Homeless Union who represented the residents of Camp Resolution in negotiations with the city, reflected on the moment.
“This has been a tremendous accomplishment by the women who have been fighting for almost 200 days to hold this territory and to wrest this concession from the city,” Prince said. “We are going to prove that organized homeless are not helpless, that they are capable of actually organizing a safe, peaceful, secure community.”
