The American River Parkway Foundation sent a letter to Sacramento County and the City of Sacramento demanding something be done to address the homeless problem. They say it’s the county’s responsibility to provide for the safety and health of its residents, including its parks, and that continued inaction is damaging the local environment.

Dianna Poggetto is the executive director of the American River Parkway Foundation

“The foundation has watched the county and the city over the last couple of years, and they’ve had initiatives but nothing…everything’s been stalled,” Poggetto said.

Now, the foundation is demanding the city and county take action.
