Collaborators and leaders from SB Act gathered the public for a virtual webinar on Wednesday to discuss their various efforts to tackle homelessness in Santa Barbara before bringing the ideas to the City Council.
“I’m here because, for the very first time, I see a light at the end of the tunnel,” said Marguerite Sanchez, interim executive director for Doctors Without Walls-Santa Barbara Street Medicine. “For the first time in 14 years, I actually believe we can resolve this problem.”
A recent count by SB Act, in partnership with City Net, found 340 homeless individuals in the State Street, Eastside and waterfront neighborhoods at the end of September. Additionally, Doctors Without Walls served 3,093 unsheltered homeless individuals in 2019, Sanchez said, with 525 of those individuals unique to Santa Barbara.
