Gavin Newsom called for a homelessness accountability bill.

Last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom demanded results from California cities receiving state homelessness funds.

During his budget presentation, the governor said lawmakers were “lighting (him) up” to author legislation aligning state and local homelessness goals and setting criteria to measure the progress of programs addressing the state’s unhoused population.

But as the Friday bill introduction deadline loomed, Newsom has yet to champion the kind of measure he pushed.

On Thursday, he declined to take a position on a bill introduced by Assemblywoman Luz Rivas, D-San Fernando Valley, creating an accountability framework for cities, counties and organizations receiving state Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) funds.

Under the bill, introduced Monday, those that fail to meet a certain portion of their goals could lose funding to another entity in the same region.

Newsom, meeting with reporters after a school tour in Sacramento, said he “tends to be careful and cautious about bills (he) hasn’t read.”

NEWSOM SEEKS HOMELESSNESS RESULTS

The governor has grown increasingly indignant about the amount of money California has spent to address homelessness, even as the problem has grown on his watch.

Flowers Helped a Homeless Veteran Find Forgiveness: Life on Skid Row

Rufus, a 70-year-old marine veteran, came to Skid Row with a singular mission: to avenge his brother's death. He set his tent up around the corner from where his brother was murdered, and has remained there for the past eight years with his brother’s memory in mind, every day. 

Over time, Rufus found work at the local flower shops that sit squarely in the middle of Skid Row. He spent his days taking out the trash, sweeping, parking cars, and running errands for the florists. Surrounded daily by the vibrant colors and fragrances, he discovered beauty and meaning in the cut flowers, solace in the simplicity of his work, and a sense of family in the community of Skid Row. 

Rufus takes pride in his job and the contribution he makes to the shops, as well as a sense of purpose and fulfillment in his work. He never found the man he had come to kill, but he came to discover something far more meaningful—a sense of peace that had been elusive for so long.
