California counties propose ideas to reduce the state’s 170K homeless population, and work with Gov. Newsom.
Acting under pressure from Gov. Gavin Newsom, the 58 counties of California unveiled a plan on Thursday, March 16 to reduce homelessness by emphasizing transparency, data sharing, better coordination with the state and legislation that removes regulatory barriers blocking new shelters and affordable housing projects.
“We have a system for education, child welfare, criminal justice, but not for those unhoused or in danger of being unhoused. That is not acceptable,” Knaus said. When it comes to obtaining funding for mental health facilities, Los Angeles County has asked the state to waive certain requirements that block such funds. “We are working with the state to file a waiver” said Kathryn Barger, L.A. County supervisor of the Fifth District, which includes the Antelope and San Gabriel valleys.
Also on Thursday, Newsom announced his administration plans to purchase 1,200 tiny homes and use the California National Guard to distribute them to cities and communities across the state. The CSAC members welcomed the governor’s action.
