The Incident Management Team responding to homelessness was created by the City of Sacramento to ensure all available resources are being utilized and leveraged in the best manner possible to address the homelessness crisis.
The IMT structure, based on work by the National Incident Management System, is typically used to provide a rapid, coordinated response to natural disasters such as wildfires, earthquakes or floods by organizing and maximizing the work of multiple agencies.
The City’s Incident Management Team responding to homelessness consists of representatives from the following departments and offices:
The Director of the City’s Department of Community Response serves as Incident Commander for the Incident Management Team responding to homelessness, overseeing the team’s objectives related to operations, planning, logistics and finance/administration.
The IMT is tasked with responding to 311 calls for service and directing comprehensive responses to address and resolve issues with unlawful encampments. This work often involves camp management, camp cleanup and the removal of refuse on public property.
The City maintains a data dashboard for the work of the IMT. The public can track progress made by the IMT by week going back to September 2023 and access cumulative tallies for outreach, compliance and cleanup.
