Sacramento’s New Homelessness Plan
The Sacramento City Council has approved a new multi-point plan to tackle the ongoing homelessness crisis. One controversial element of that proposal would see unhoused seniors charged 30% of their income to live in the city’s planned tiny home communities. CapRadio Local Government Reporter Riley Palmer joins Insight to talk about the specifics of this new plan and its implementation, as well as the criticism it is drawing.
Editor's note: In this segment the maximum number of tiny homes was incorrectly reported as 120 units across four sites. The correct number is 160 units across four sites.
Effie Yeaw Nature Center
Effie Yeaw Nature Center is getting ready to celebrate 50 years of educating Sacramento’s youth about the plants and animals that reside along the American River Parkway. Rachael Cowan, Interim Executive Director of Effie Yeaw Nature Center, and Greg Dewey, Board President of the American River Natural History Association, a nonprofit organization that has overseen the center since 2010, join us for an update on how the center is doing ahead of their upcoming fundraiser, Fall Feast in the Forest.
Play About ‘Frankenstein’s’ Mary Shelley
A new play in Sacramento is celebrating the creative force behind the classic Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The play explores Mary Shelley’s remarkable life, from her scandalous teenage elopement to her authorship of Frankenstein - the radical gothic novel that changed the literary landscape forever. Jenny Connors and lead actors Karma Matthews, Lily Anastasia Morales and Ryan Reece join us ahead of the premiere of Mary Shelley at the Women’s Theatre Collective, which runs from Sept. 26 through Oct. 12.
