Sincerely, Barry Tippin City 1Vlanager CITY OF REDDING SHELTER CRISIS ACTION PLAN California Government Code Section 8698, et seq., allows the governing body of a city to declare a Shelter Crisis when a significant number of persons are without the ability to obtain shelter, resulting in a threat to their health and safety. The 2020 Shasta County Point-in-Time Report provided that four hundred fifty-four (454) individuals within the City of Redding "("City"), including veterans, women, children, individuals with disabilities, senior citizens, and other vulnerable groups, are experiencing unsheltered homelessness within the City. Many of those unable to obtain shelter reside on the streets, in alleys and doorways, along the Sacramento River and its tributaries, and in unlawful encampments throughout the City. These individuals lack adequate sanitary facilities and are at risk from theft, crime, and extreme weather conditions, these conditions threaten the health and safety of the unsheltered population and likewise threaten the public health and safety of the public at large, contribute to a draw on public resources, and threaten the environmental health of the City's waterways. In June 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring that the City of Redding has a shelter crisis. A shelter crisis proclaims that a significant number of people are without the ability to obtain shelter. Following this declaration, the Council approved two Ordinances (2637 and 2638) thereby amending Redding Municipal Code (RMC} Title 18 (Zoning}, Chapter 18.17, subsection 18.17.020 (Temporary Uses Exempt from Permits) and RMC Title 16, Chapter 16.02, subsection 16.02.010 and Chapter 16.03, subsection 16.03.010 relating to establishing the criteria for permitting emergency housing sites and the operation of the same during a declared Shelter Crisis. With the declaration of a shelter crisis and the City enacting the provisions of RMC Section 18.17.020 and portions of Title 16, these actions allow organizations within the City to request permits issued by the City Council to set up and operate an Emergency Housing Site as defined in the RMC and in Appendix O of the California Building Code. The Emergency Housing Sites will provide low barrier, sanitary shelter for up to 10 months, for those experiencing homelessness. Wrap-around supportive services will be provided to the occupants of the Emergency Housing Sites with the goal of moving those individuals into permanent housing. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 8698 and RMC Chapter 18.17A20, subsection M., 14, the City Manager shall, not later than July 1st of the year following the declaration of any shelter crisis, develop a plan to address the shelter crisis which shall include the development of homeless shelters and permanent supportive housing as well as onsite supportive services. The implementation of Emergency Housing Sites within the City of Redding provides a resource to address the crisis of the unsheltered by creating housing facilities offering short-term shelter bridging the gap to transitional or permanent housing.
