Newsom, Mayor Garcetti-Los Angeles, Mayor Schaaf-Oakland, Mayor Steinberg-Sacramento, Mayor Gloria-San Diego, Mayor Breed-San Francisco, and Mayor Liccardo-San Jose to provide solutions” King City participates in the Point-In-Time (PIT) count which provides valuable data used to identify needs of our homeless population. King City will continue to have an accurate picture of needs by again participating in the January 2022 PIT count. City Manager Steve Adams stated “It is important for cities to undertake this count as it provides a valuable tool to guide future planning, having good data allowed our city to develop a comprehensive strategy to address housing needs, identify resources and remove barriers to accomplish our goals” The City has been working to address all housing sectors from extremely low, very low, and low-income units to bring into our development pipeline as well as Ag employee housing, temporary workforce housing, market rate condo, townhome, and single residential units to prevent homelessness, some of those efforts include: Entering into an MOU for conversion of a local motel to a permanent supportive housing project to address homelessness in the community utilizing HHAP, ARPA and PLHA funding. Utilized American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds as well as other grants totaling over $1.2 million to provide rental and utility assistance keeping over 100 families from becoming homeless The City is working on redevelopment of a motel site for a Senior Affordable Housing project adjacent to the downtown area earmarking ARPA funds to assist with the project. House America: An All-Hands-on-Deck Effort to Address the Nation’s Homelessness Crisis is a federal initiative in which the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) are inviting mayors, city and county leaders, tribal nation leaders, and governors into a national partnership.

On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation.
