Sacramento County’s biennial Point-in-Time homelessness count. Also, the oldest Chinese restaurant in the state - and possibly the nation - is in Woodland. Finally, goodbye to CapRadio’s Mike Hagerty, who is retiring.

Sac’s 2024 Point-in-Time Homelessness Count

Sacramento County’s last Point-in-Time Count in 2022 reported a record 9,300 unhoused residents, and this was only a conservative snapshot of the number of people experiencing homelessness in the county on any given night. Last week, over 800 volunteers conducted the biennial count again. CapRadio Homelessness and Housing Affordability Reporter Chris Nichols joins Insight with a deeper look at what the recent PIT looked like, and the experiences and challenges being faced by some of the county’s most vulnerable residents.

Oldest Chinese Restaurant is in Woodland

The oldest Chinese restaurant in California - and possibly the nation - is tucked away in a Yolo County suburb. Jack Chin is a professor at UC Davis School of Law and shares his research into finding the oldest Chinese restaurants in the U.S., which led him to Chicago Café in Woodland. Amy Fong’s parents own the restaurant, and she shares its history spanning more than a century. And we’re also joined by Carla Meyer who is a Senior Editor at UC Davis School of Law, about the storytelling behind this discovery.
