Alaytreya Gregory, 31, was surprised when the delivery didn’t show up Monday, when temperatures reached 103 degrees, at Camp Resolution in North Sacramento, where she lives in a city-issued trailer without air conditioning.

She would go buy water at the store for her and her two dogs, she said, but her food stamps don’t get refilled until Wednesday.

“I’m not really sure what to do,” said Gregory, who became homeless after her mother died. “I may go door to door and ask, but people tend to get mad about that. I don’t have any cash on hand right now.”
