Sacramento Homeless Campgrounds Plan | Rehabilitating Tahoe Bear, Cubs Linked to Break-ins


Listen Later

The city of Sacramento passed a plan for new sanctioned homeless campgrounds. A Tahoe bear and her cubs have been captured for rehabilitation after being linked to many home break-ins.

Sacramento homeless campground plan

After a slow rollout of Sacramento’s voter-approved Measure O, city council members narrowly passed a plan that would give the city manager sole authority on where to open shelters for sanctioned homeless campgrounds. CapRadio’s Homelessness and Housing Affordability Reporter Chris Nichols explains what the city manager’s plan involves, along with several other steps the city council took to alleviate the city’s deepening homelessness crisis.

Tahoe bear and cubs

Jordan Traverso, Deputy Director of Communications, Education and Outreach for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, discusses the recent capture and rehabilitation of a female bear known as 64F and her cubs responsible for at least 21 DNA-confirmed home break-ins and extensive property damage in the South Lake Tahoe area since 2022. We’re also joined by Toogee Sielsch, an expert on South Lake Tahoe's urbanized black bear population, about what residents and locals should know about the growing black bear density across the Tahoe Basin.
