Potential strategies emerge from Placer’s regional effort to respond to homelessness 

A variety of potential strategies are beginning to emerge from Phase I of a regional effort to develop options that address homelessness in the mid and south Placer region.

Two strategy response groups have been meeting since Sept. 2021 to review existing conditions and spotlight emerging priorities. One of the strategy response groups is an ad hoc committee made up of two elected leaders each from the county and its five cities and one town. That committee is supported by a cross-jurisdictional steering group tasked with providing process oversight.

Preliminarily, a list of potential strategies has been developed for further exploration and included in the Placer Homelessness Response Emerging Strategies Phase 1 Report. The report identifies a framework and over a dozen potential strategies to mitigate homelessness impacts.

An informational presentation with the preliminary findings will be made at the Roseville City Council meeting at 6 p.m., Wednesday, March 16. Presentations will also be made in Lincoln, Rocklin, Auburn, and Loomis in the near future.

How to prepare for a power outage

While power outages in Roseville are rare, there are steps you can take to help “weather” any storm.

• Keep your cell phones charged, some extra cash on hand and your gas tank at least half full.
• Plan for batteries and other alternatives to meet your needs when the power goes out.
• Review the supplies that are available in case of a power outage, including flashlights, nonperishable food, and water.

To report a power outage, visit our outage map at roseville.ca.us/outages or call (916) 79-POWER.

Charge ahead and choose electric

Electric vehicles (EVs) are simple to charge, inexpensive to fuel and fun to drive. And, as a Roseville resident, the benefits really add up.

The cost of electricity for Roseville customers to charge an EV is much less than the cost of gasoline. In addition to lower fuel costs, EV owners can expect lower maintenance costs, no oil changes, and the convenience of charging your vehicle at home.

Plus, we offer new vehicle and charging incentives for both residential and commercial customers.
