The problem led Holly Tolbert to create her own social media group chronicling the problems in an effort to help neighborhoods she says have been "impacted severely."
The new spike in numbers comes as Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper proposed eliminating his homeless outreach team to meet county budget cuts.
Ten deputies who have responded to approximately 4,500 calls at homeless encampments in the past year would be moved back into patrols under that proposal.
He says the PIT count is an unreliable accounting of the county's homeless problem. Still, he said he is seeing an increase in numbers.
On Wednesday night, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors approved its budget with a 4-1 vote. County supervisors voted to save the funding for the sheriff's Homeless Outreach Team, but they did make other cuts to the sheriff's department and the county District Attorney's Office.
Separately, the county also cut funding to District Attorney Thien Ho's office. Ho said his office will no longer prosecute misdemeanors as a result of the cuts.
They referred 183 individuals for social services.
