## Resource

Sacramento’s new River District camping spot is a stopgap for unhoused residents, but behind the scenes, a damning audit reveals the city spent $63 million on shelters over two years—with no clear way to measure if that money actually helped people. Without reliable data, expensive programs can’t be proven effective, and the audit demands smarter tracking, better outcomes, and accountability before the City Council.
