California Governor Gavin Newsom on Tuesday said he was committing $12 billion toward the state's seemingly intractable homeless problem in what he said was the largest amount of money spent at one time to get individuals and families off the streets.
The move comes as Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego, along with smaller cities and towns, grapple with mushrooming homeless populations and the spread unsanitary conditions and disease in blighted communities.
"That’s the idea behind the Comeback Plan's homelessness investments – more, faster and with accountability and efficiency stitched into the fabric of these new investments," he said. Another $1.75 billion would be spent to build affordable homes, some $450 million to address student homelessness and 150 million to "stabilize and rehouse" people given shelter under Project Roomkey.
