Sacramento Steps Forward
Sacramento Steps Forward describes Winter Sanctuary in this way: Winter Sanctuary is a rotating, nightly, interfaith shelter that operates during Sacramento’s winter months…Each winter in Sacramento, cold and wet weather conditions threaten the lives of the approximately 1,200 homeless men, women and children sleeping outside. County budget cuts have significantly decreased Winter Shelter funding, creating a crisis. While limited public funding was allocated to serve homeless families, homeless single adults were left with very few options. Without a warm, dry, safe place to sleep in the winter, people who are homeless are at an even greater risk of illness, injuries and death.
