HOUSING, STABILITY, AND OPPORTUNITY FOR SACRAMENTO COUNTY

Brian Lajda for Sacramento County Supervisor - District 2

A County Where Everyone Has a Place to Call Home

Sacramento County is facing a housing and homelessness crisis that affects every part of our community - but especially our most vulnerable: children and veterans.

Too many families are living one paycheck away from losing their homes. Too many students are trying to succeed in school without stable housing. And too many veterans who served our country are left without the support they deserve.

As your county Supervisor, I will take a focused, results-driven approach to housing - because stable housing means safer communities, stronger schools, and a better future for all of us.

Tackling Homelessness at its Root

We cannot solve homelessness with temporary fixes alone. We need coordinated, long-term solutions that prioritize those most in need.

I will:

• Expand rapid rehousing programs to move families out of homelessness quickly

• Increase access to emergency and transitional housing

• Strengthen coordination between county services and local partners

• Focus resources on prevention to stop homelessness before it starts

Supporting Homeless Children and Families

Housing instability is one of the biggest barriers to a child's success in school.

Students without stable housing are more likely to miss school, fall behind academically, and face long-term challenges.

I will work closely with parents connected to Elk Grove Unified School District and other districts to ensure no child falls through the cracks.

My priorities include:

• Partnering with schools to identify and support housing-insecure students

• Connecting families directly to county housing services

• Expanding after-school and support programs for at-risk youth

• Ensuring every child has a safe, stable place to learn and grow

No child in Sacramento County should be doing homework in a car, motel, or shelter.

Ending Veteran Homelessness

Those who served our country deserve dignity, stability, and support.

Yet far too many veterans in our community are experiencing homelessness.

I will:

• Prioritize veterans in county housing programs

• Partner with local, state, and federal agencies to expand housing access

• Support wraparound services, including mental health and job placement

• Work toward functionally ending veteran homelessness in Sacramento County

We have a responsibility to ensure no veteran is left behind.

Affordable Housing for Working Families

Our housing crisis is not just about homelessness - It's about affordability.

Teachers, school staff, healthcare workers, and first responders are increasingly priced out of the communities they serve.

I will

• Support development of affordable and workforce housing

• Streamline permitting to accelerate housing construction

• Partner with labor and the building trades to create local jobs

• Advocate for smart growth that keeps communities livable and connected

The people who serve our community should be able to live in it.

Working Together for Real Solutions

Solving our housing crisis will take collaboration across every level of government and every part of our community.

I will work with:

• Local school districts and educators

• Labor unions and workforce leaders

• Veteran organizations and service providers

• Community groups and housing advocates

Together, we can build a Sacramento County where every resident has the stability they need to succeed.

A Clear Commitment

• Prioritize homeless children and families

• Support veterans with real housing solutions

• Expand affordable housing for working people

• Connect housing policy with education and community outcomes
