how homelessness is currently being fought

In 2018, then-Gov. Jerry Brown directed $500 million to emergency homelessness funding in response to a plea for help from mayors of the state’s 11 largest cities. That same year, voters passed Prop. 1, a $4 billion bond that funds affordable housing construction. They also passed Prop. 2, a $2 billion bond to fund supportive housing for people with mental illness.

In his first year, Gov. Gavin Newsom upped the ante on homelessness spending. He designated a record $1 billion of his 2019-2020 budget to one-time investments combating homelessness, on top of $1.75 billion to expand California’s affordable housing stock  https://calmatters.org/explainers/californias-homelessness-crisis-explained/

There are many shelters and food banks in cities where homelessness is hit hard

Newsom assembled a task force which will help Newsom pass bills on how to help the homelessness crisis

As of January 2019, California had an estimated 151,278 experiencing homelessness on any given day, as reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Nearly 28% of people experiencing homelessness in California are considered chronically homeless.

Homelessness in California increased by more than 22% over the last decade. Between 2018 and 2019, homelessness in California increased by over 16%.

Los Angeles spends as much as $87 million a year on policing the homeless

Los Angeles is the third most homeless city in the world

California’s rate of homelessness, 33 per 10,000 residents, was among the highest in the country.

The vast majority of homeless Californians (69%) were unsheltered, meaning they were living in streets, parks, or other locations not meant for human habitation—the highest rate in the nation.

Governor Newsom’s proposed budget would allocate $500 million in one-time grant funding for emergency homeless shelters and navigation centers, and $25 million ongoing to assist eligible homeless individuals in applying for disability benefits.
