SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) — The Sacramento City Council is poised to approve a $62 million homeless housing plan that’s been in the works since the beginning of 2020.
萨克拉门托，加利福尼亚州(KTXL)——萨克拉门托市议会准备批准一项耗资6200万美元的无家可归者住房计划，该计划自2020年初就开始实施。
City council members and housing officials got a firsthand look at the new Women’s Homeless Shelter due to open in the Meadowview neighborhood in a few weeks.

That is where Mayor Darrell Steinberg chose to lay out a $62 million homeless plan that goes beyond the 100-bed facility.
纽约市长达雷尔·斯坦伯格(Darrell Steinberg)选择在这里制定了一项6200万美元的无家可归计划，该计划的规模超过了现有的100个床位。
The plan includes more large shelters as well as tiny homes, manufactured homes and hotel conversions to provide both temporary and long-term housing for the homeless.
该计划包括更多的大庇护所和小房子、人造房屋和旅馆改造，为无家可归者提供临时和长期住房。
Some of the money comes from federal economic relief to cities.
部分资金来自**对城市的经济救济。
“We could have chosen to spend the money on other things,” Steinberg explained. “But we chose to spend $15.6 million into combating homelessness.”
“我们本可以选择把钱花在其他事情上，”斯坦伯格解释说。“但是我们选择花费1560万美元来解决无家可归的问题。”

“In 110-degree heat or 112-degree heat, it’s just no way human beings should be allowed live or be forced to live,” said city councilmember Jay Schenirer.
市议员杰伊·舍尼勒说:“在110度或112度的高温下，无家可归的人会有多难过！
The plan targets key areas of concern by providing a center for treating meth addiction which afflicts a huge number of the homeless population and $5 million in rental assistance for those hit by hard times like the COVID-19 crisis.
该计划以关注的关键领域为目标，提供一个治疗冰毒成瘾的中心，大量无家可归人口受到冰毒成瘾的折磨，并向遭受COVID-19危机等困难时期打击的人提供500万美元的租金援助。
“This will help us not push people into needing these types of facilities and keep them housed,” explained La Shelle Dozier, executive director at Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency.
“这将帮助我们不强迫人们需要这类设施，让他们有住所，”拉谢尔·多齐尔解释说，他是萨克拉门托住房和重建机构的执行主任。

市议员安吉丽克·阿什比(Angelique Ashby)说:“旅馆改造对妇女和儿童来说是个好办法，特别是如果我们能把他们安置在一所好学校附近的话。”
Steinberg said the approach isn’t a total solution but insists it will put a dent in homelessness in the city.
