Stockton Blvd Partnership wants you to keep it safe this holiday season!
Sacramento Police Department has additional tips for the community. Please report any suspicious activity or individuals to 911. In addition, here are a few other tips to help prevent being a victim of package theft this holiday season:
- Take advantage of package tracking: Most delivery companies give updates on delivery status, and you can ensure your package is retrieved once its delivered.
- Consider installing a video doorbell: Burglar and thieves tend to be discouraged by cameras and security alarms, and someone thinking of stealing a package might think twice if they see you have one. Also, if a theft does occur the video evidence is a great resource for us.
- Have your package delivered where it can be retrieved upon delivery: If you are not home during the day consider having your packages delivered to a neighbor, workplace, or friend where it can be retrieved upon delivery.
- Utilize a storage locker: Some of the larger delivery companies, like Amazon, have lockers at various locations where you can have your items delivered. They will be safely waiting for you to pick up.
- Stay alert and be aware of what's going on around you. Park in a well-lighted space. Deter thieves by ensuring you are not overburdened with packages. Also, keep your purse close to your body. Try to avoid carrying large sums of cash. If you are paying with it, don't take your money out until you're asked, and don't flash a lot of cash.

New Building Electrification Ordinance
The Sacramento City Council adopted the New Building Electrification Ordinance on June 1, 2021. The Ordinance is a “reach code”, which is a local building energy code that “reaches” beyond State minimum requirements for energy use in building design and construction. The Ordinance supports the City’s climate goals by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution from fossil fuel combustion within buildings by requiring new buildings to be constructed as all-electric. Existing buildings (room additions, remodels, tenant improvements, etc.) will not be affected by the Ordinance.
The effective dates for the New Building Electrification Ordinance are as follows:
- New buildings which are 1-3 stories: January 1, 2023
- New buildings which are 4-stories or more: January 1, 2026
The Ordinance provides specific limited exemptions until December 31, 2025, for:
- Manufacturing process loads within industrial or manufacturing facilities.
- Cooking equipment in ground-floor food establishments.
- Water heating in regulated affordable housing projects when virtual net energy metering is not available.
There is no additional application process for the three limited exemptions listed above. The Ordinance also provides for an infeasibility waiver process that will not have a sunset date. The infeasibility waiver process will provide flexibility for projects where all-electric is shown to be infeasible by the applicant.
As part of the preparation for implementing the New Building Electrification Ordinance the City is convening in early 2022 an advisory technical panel that is tasked with vetting barriers where technologies are not yet market-ready for electrification and providing input on an infeasibility waiver guidance document for electrifying new construction. The infeasibility waiver guidance document will be adopted by City Council prior to the January 1, 2023 effective date.
All electric construction is feasible and cost effective in most cases, but to avoid unintended consequences, project applicants are advised to plan their projects as all-electric from the beginning.
The adopted Ordinance, topic-based building electrification webinars, an extensive Electrification Ordinance Q&A, and other resources can be found on the New Building Electrification project webpage at: http://www.cityofsacramento.org/SacElectrificationOrdinance

You've had some Questions?
From the Sacramento County Homelessness Frequently Asked Questions.
Here are some Answers from our County Supervisor Patrick Kennedy.
The latest Point in Time Count (PIT) estimates there are 9,278 people living unhoused in
Sacramento County on any given night. Of those, 72 percent of those living unsheltered-which means they are living in a tent, a vehicle or without any shelter.
In Fiscal Year 21/22, it is estimated that Sacramento County committed approximately $181 million in funding to provide services and supports to those experiencing homelessness. Much of this funding is on-going annual commitments to current and new programs that provide
outreach, shelter, treatment and rehousing services to those living unhoused and help mitigate the impacts to the community. Additional funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was committed in FY 22/23 and will be invested in multi-year projects to increase these services and supports.
No. The County spends 18% of its budget on law enforcement and 36% of its budget on social services. The County spends more on social services than any other category:
- Social Services: 36%
- Community Services: 26%
- Public Safety and Justice: 18%
- Administrative Services: 12%
- General Government: 8%
- The County has approved two new-concept locations for Safe Stay Communities, adding another 165 indoor beds that provide privacy, dignity and a place for people to receive
services to end their homelessness. - The County added 11 new behavioral health staff to the Encampment Service Teams to connect people to mental health and substance abuse services.
- Allocated $10 million in ARPA funding for a Landlord Engagement and Assistance Program (LEAP), which will fund re-housing of 300+ households from shelters and encampments.
- $2.5 million to fund 60 beds to support the Parkway Navigation team, prioritizing those
exiting the portion of the Parkway between 1-5 and Highway 160, with an annual goal of rehousing 180 people who previous lived on the Parkway. - $5 million toward the construction of Marisol Village -an affordable housing project slated to add an additional 116 units to the final project.
- Allocated $28 million in MHSA funding since 2017 through the MHSA Housing Program and No Place Like Home Program.
- The County has 221 housing units funded through MHSA and an additional 234 coming in the next two years.
What new and enhanced services around homelessness are reflected in the Final Budget for FY 2022-23?
- $10 million to procure an additional 156 beds for Substance Use Disorder residential treatment
- $5 million for behavioral health crisis stabilization units required in Medi-Cal
- $7.5 million in Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funds and federal match for additional Full Service Partnerships
- $1 million to expand the scattered site sheltering program
- $5 million to fund the new American River Parkway Homeless Reserve
Yes, Sacramento County Division of Behavioral Health Services is responsible for providing specialty mental health and substance use and prevention services throughout the County, inclusive of all of the cities. Whether homeless or not, Sacramento County is responsible for providing specialty mental health assessment and treatment services for those with severe needs and functional impairment.
Of the County’s 30,000 behavioral health and substance abuse clients, the County served 9,862 people in the City of Sacramento in 2021/22. Of those 9,862 City of Sacramento clients, the County served 1,281 people who were experiencing or at risk of becoming homeless.
There are approximately 2,600 emergency shelter beds throughout Sacramento County, serving individuals, families, and transition age youth. Most are available year-round; some are seasonally opened during inclement weather. The County currently funds about 1,300 of these beds, with another 165 set to welcome guests within the next six months.
Additionally, the County has 13 encampment team members and 17 homeless navigators, as well a behavioral health access clinician who offers ‘office hours’ at all shelters in the County, including those in the cities.
Sacramento County is currently working to stand up new shelter programs and locations and will announce details around those projects once they go to the Board of Supervisors for approval.
In June of 2022, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors approved a collaborative Local Homeless Action Plan (LHAP) that was created in partnership with the Continuum of Care, Sacramento Steps Forward and the City of Sacramento. The Plan details the current state of homelessness in Sacramento County, lays out the current system gaps in shelter and housing resources to meet the needs of the population and establishes strategies in six key areas:
- Build and scale a Coordinated Access System (CAS)
- Ensure emergency shelter & interim housing is focused on rehousing
- Increase permanent housing opportunities
- Expand prevention & diversion programs
- Invest in community capacity building & training
- Ensure adequate behavioral health services
