Sacramento County is negotiating a contract with PRIDE industries that could hire select homeless people, provide them training and put them to work to clean out homeless camps along the American River Parkway. The agreement will be presented for approval today to the Sacramento Board of Supervisors. The program will run for four 10-week periods with 10 homeless persons each as recruits, at a cost of $387,200. In addition to training and learning some skill, each homeless resident will earn a construction certification through PRIDE at the end of the program.
