SACRAMENTO, Calif. The City of Sacramento announced Tuesday plans to open a third warming center location at Capitol City Seventh-Day Adventist Church on Lemon Hill Avenue just East of Stockton Boulevard. City leaders say they’re doing what they can but homeless advocates like Anthony Prince, a lead organizer with the California Homeless Union, say it’s not enough.
“Our reaction is it’s a band-aid,” explained Prince.
Prince said he’s grateful to Capitol City Seventh-Day Adventist church, but also that he’s concerned about the limited capacity of the warming center and their ability to keep everyone safe from COVID-19.
