The City of Sacramento has received $89 million from the CARES RELIEF ACT. The term “Relief” has a specific purpose which is to provide aid to those negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We estimate that in the City of Sacramento over 250,000 working families are facing devastating financial pressures since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic. I Join with the Sacramento Investment Without Displacement Coalition would like to ask for your support in the following positions: We oppose the use of CARES ACT RELIEF MONEY to fund the AGGIE Square Development Project nor any public/private development. While we support economic development in the city, the CARES ACT is intended to provide relief to vulnerable families and existing businesses affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. We support the use of the CARES ACT RELIEF FUND to help the working poor with rental/housing assistance. By using/starting a $20,000,000 fund to leverage housing funding assistance as a long-term strategy. We know that this pandemic has only exacerbated the housing crisis in Sacramento. This fund can be independently administered by an existing community non-profit organization to provide short term and long -term rental assistance to low-income families. Similar to the Seasons of Sharing in San Francisco, or the City of Santa Ana Corona Virus Emergency Rental Relief Fund, these funds could build an effective way to give a once in a lifetime assistance to families facing homelessness or eviction through no fault of their own. This federal stimulus money presents an important opportunity at a critical moment in our city. We must prioritize direct community relief - particularly for housing interventions to keep people off of the street - and put a down-payment on a regenerative and equitable future.
