Governor Newsom pauses $1 Billion dollars in funding demanding better action towards Homelessness
Collectively, the plans as-submitted would reduce street homelessness statewide by just 2% Governor Newsom will convene local governments later this month to partner on driving more ambitious action to tackle homelessness
SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that he will convene local leaders in mid-November to review the state’s collective approach to homelessness and identify new strategies to better address the growing homelessness crisis. Until this convening, the state will hold on providing the remaining third round of Homelessness Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) grants.
“Californians demand accountability and results, not settling for the status quo,” said Governor Newsom. “As a state, we are failing to meet the urgency of this moment. Collectively, these plans set a goal to reduce street homelessness 2% statewide by 2024. At this pace, it would take decades to significantly curb homelessness in California – this approach is simply unacceptable. Everyone has to do better – cities, counties, and the state included. We are all in this together.”
