Addressing Homelessness

To properly meet the needs of all the citizens of Chico:

  • we must help congregate the unhouse populations in smaller encampments, with;

    • better access to social services,

    • improved sanitation and hygiene,

    • less criminality and substance use,

  • each unhoused person we can successfully reintegrate into society can yield an economic return of approximately $2,000 per year in additional tax revenue, in addition to cost savings from unneeded police overtime.
