West Valley Homelessness Response
Summary
The five-city feasibility study found 19 unhoused people counted in Saratoga (a floor, not a ceiling) and a 13% regional increase since 2023. The council signed onto a task force, but members flagged the shaky count methodology and warned against tapping the general fund.

Impact analysis
A preliminary $80,000 consultant budget may be shared among the five cities — but tonight's resolution commits Saratoga to no money.
Unhoused residents in the West Valley, and city taxpayers if regional coordination saves money.
Taxpayers could face future costs if the follow-up MOU commits city general fund dollars — a concern raised by speakers.
