Sacramento finally sees Califia. Can the city get her the help she desperately needs?

The city government of Sacramento, from Mayor Kevin McCarty to paramedics, wants to save 33-year-old Califia Carlisle from more than a decade of homelessness, drug addiction and mental illness. But in assembling its effort, the city discovered that there was no record of Carlisle in the official Sacramento County homeless database, despite that she has been swept for years from illegal homeless encampments and arrested for panhandling near the Home Depot off Folsom Boulevard. Officially, it was as if Carlisle had never existed. “She is hiding in plain sight,” said 69-year-old Christopher Carlisle, Califia’s father, who attended a recent briefing with city and county staff about his daughter. There are nearly 6,000 homeless people in Sacramento County’s Homeless Information Management System, or HMIS. Sacramento Steps Forward is the nonprofit group that manages the database. Califia’s absence from county records illustrates the fallibility of homeless record keeping in California. It’s why Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claim that homelessness has decreased by 13% in the last two years should be viewed with skepticism. The HMIS database, like the biennial count conducted on a single day in January, is flawed because people experiencing homelessness are difficult to count, and the methods used to track

Nvidia, rocked by CEO's sudden resignation, has ties to Sacramento-area AI plans

A major chipmaker whose founder and chief executive abruptly resigned Thursday had ties to a proposed artificial intelligence hub in the Sacramento area. Jensen Huang resigned as president , chief executive officer and a board member of Nvidia, the company said. He cofounded the company in 1993. Huang, 63, apologized Sunday for being “unfaithful to my wife,” CNBC reported. His apology followed reports that he had an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer. Alice Huang, who is not related to the former CEO, is reportedly suspected of being a Chinese spy, according to news reports. Jensen Huang also reportedly had an affair with Kimberly Powell, vice president of healthcare at the chipmaker. Colette Kress, Nvidia’s executive vice president and chief financial officer, was named interim CEO, the company said. Nvidia, based in Santa Clara, is a leading manufacturer of chips used to power artificial intelligence systems. What are Nvidia’s ties to Sacramento? In October 2025, Nvidia discussed plans to establish an AI innovation hub in Rancho Cordova in partnership with the Human Machine Collaboration Institute. The project was intended to “boost the city’s AI capabilities with AI infrastructure, workforce upskilling and student training,”

Upscale Mexican eatery is coming to Elk Grove's historic Railroad Street

A popular, upscale Mexican restaurant known for its live music is replacing a barbecue spot in Elk Grove. Rosa Madera is launching its second location in the Sacramento area at 9700 Railroad St. in Old Town Elk Grove. The site is taking over Horn Barbecue, which closed in February after nine months in business. Rosa Madera is originally from Orange County, with its flagship location in Santa Ana. The franchise came to Sacramento’s Valley Hi / North Laguna neighborhood at 7521 W. Stockton Blvd. in 2024. The restaurant’s most popular dishes include its enchiladas, carne asada street tacos, and its Los Favoritios plate, which is filled with birria chimichangas, al pastor nachos, and flautas de tinga, deep-fried corn tortillas with Mexican meat in a tomato-chipotle sauce. Its cocktail menu has just as much kick and flavor as its dishes, serving beverages like a sweet Mangoñeada, coconut margarita and spicy tamarindo. The restaurant has live entertainment, with a mariachi band performing on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, as well as a live DJ, according to the restaurant’s social media. Rosa Madera did not respond to an interview request from The Sacramento Bee. An exact opening date has not been announced. The location
