Gov. Gavin Newsom will announce plans to build 1,200 small homes across the state as part of an effort to help house the nation's largest homeless population.
Gov. Gavin Newsom will announce plans Thursday to build 1,200 small homes across the state as part of an effort to help house the nation's largest homeless population and to address an issue that has persistently plagued the state during his time in office.
The governor has approved more than $22.3 billion in new housing and homelessness spending since taking office, according to the Legislative Analyst's Office, yet the homeless population has continued to grow. Newsom's office did not say how much the homes will cost or where they will go. It would be up to local governments to decide the latter, which could be tricky since many residents may not want the homes near where they live.Most of the state funding for homelessness programs has gone to local governments. But a lack of progress has led the governor to clash with local leaders.
California's homelessness problem is in part a byproduct of its shortage of affordable housing, an issue that advocates say impacts many more people than simply those living on the streets. The association's solution is to ask the state Legislature to pass laws clearly defining the responsibilities of local and state government, coupled with recurring state funding for local governments every year. Knauss said the association is talking with lawmakers and the governor's office about passing legislation.
