Elk Grove has some of the lowest numbers of homeless people in the region, but city officials said the need is growing. Sarah Bontrager, the city's housing and public services manager, said there may be between 80 and 100 homeless people across the city "at any given time."
"Using a city-owned property, purchasing a vacant property, purchasing a property with a building on it — those are all options that are on the table," Bontrager said.
"So we will need to find a permanent home for the shelter," Bontrager said.
But some people have concerns about what kind of impact it will have on the neighborhood where it's built.
Others in Elk Grove say this type of support is desperately needed.
The city says it will cost about $1.5 million a year to operate the shelter, with most of the money coming from a sales tax increase passed by voters in 2022.
Elk Grove officials will begin the site selection process in October and construction is expected to begin in 2027, with the grand opening happening about a year later.
