Sacramento, CA: Homeless campers forced to move say shelters not an option

Came across this article at news10.net - mainstream news... A college student . . . A part-time office worker with pets... A man with children who was a carpenter, but work dried up...    Sacramento encampment  used to have more than 150 people, their stories are very similar to stories of people in Nickelsville, Tent City 3 and other tent cities;  the stories are the same across the country.  And now Sacramento people have nowhere to go.   Watch the video and read the entire article at link below, I only quoted some of the closing paragraphs. We better wake up.



Homeless campers forced to move say shelters not an option

copied url of the pic from the article, but it gives no credentials...

"I can't go to a shelter, because it'll conflict with my schooling," full-time Sacramento City College student Jordan Davis said. "The scheduling for sign-ups is tedius and certain programs you have to attend, if you miss one, they'll kick you out."


Another homeless woman refuses to give up her pet dog she's had for 10 years to enter a shelter.


"Can you give up your best friend? My dogs are all I have," said the woman who didn't want to be identified, because she works part-time in an office.


"There's no shelters you can go to with dogs."
