HUFFAKER’S HUFFINGS
Marking progress; keeping up momentum
Since the summer of 2022, the city of Santa Cruz’s programs addressing homelessness have made remarkable strides:
• We’ve served 578 individuals through shelter and safe parking programs.
• 74 individuals have transitioned into housing.
• 77 people reconnected with family and friends in their hometowns.
• We’ve provided 725 emergency shelter beds over the course of 19 nights
(more details available on the City’s website at https://www.cityofsantacruz.com/community/homelessness )
Progress? Missing: the actual cost of the “emergency shelter beds”, the large number of people left outside, & the wasteful and futile cost of the enforcement sweeps
