Sacramento Steps Forward (SSF) is committed to keeping our partners, clients, and employees informed as we navigate evolving federal funding and policies. As the lead agency for the region’s Continuum of Care, we bring our community together for meaningful collaboration, and are responsible for complying with federal laws and regulations. To meet our mission of resolving homelessness in Sacramento, we remain ready to serve the needs of our community through comprehensive communication.
While we continue to monitor ongoing federal actions and their impacts, we will communicate as promptly and transparently as possible. This includes sharing information with our federally-funded program grantees through a variety of media, including periodic virtual forums, monthly newsletter updates, Continuum of Care meetings, and this newly established webpage.
Together, we will navigate these changing circumstances and reaffirm our commitment to creating a community where everyone has a safe place to call home.

On Tuesday, January 28, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a temporary freeze on all federal financial assistance as of 5 p.m. EST, potentially impacting funding disbursements across the country including for programs that receive federal funds through Sacramento Steps Forward. On Wednesday, January 29, the OMB formally rescinded the freeze. We have been able to process payments since then and will continue to track this issue.
