The Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) has a unique strategy to engage and assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness to continue to make the City of Rancho Cordova a safe and inviting place. The Homeless Outreach Team – comprised of our Homeless Outreach Navigator, two officers, code enforcement, and two MCE members – builds relationships with homeless individuals and families and provides services, education and resources in partnership with local organizations to help them become self-sufficient. The team also enforces violations of the law, such as illegal camping and aggressive panhandling.

The city is asking its residents and businesses to help be our eyes in the community. If you see something, report it to the city.

• Report homeless camps, trash or debris that might have come from a homeless camp, as well as abandoned shopping carts using Fresh Connect, the city’s online reporting system. Simply snap a photo and send your report via the city’s website or mobile app, and get an update once the problem is resolved. Visit http://cityofranchocordova.org/freshconnect to get started today!
