California Gov. Gavin Newsom will announce plans for the state to pay to build 1,200 small homes to help house the homeless population
Newsom said the state will pay to build and install the 1,200 small homes, which can be put up quickly and placed on public land to house people living in encampments along roads and rivers. Sacramento will get 350 homes, Los Angeles will get 500, San Jose will get 200 and San Diego will get 150.
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.$1 billion of funding for local government homelessness programs because he didn't like how they planned to spend it. Cumulatively, the local governments' plans aimed to reduce the homeless population by just 2%. Newsom later released the money after a meeting with local leaders.
Leaders of the state's biggest cities and counties want Sacramento to define more clearly their role in addressing homelessness and how the state will measure the success of local programs that receive state funding. “We certainly should not expect that we’re going to get ongoing progress on homelessness while using one-time funding to do it,” he said.
