Governor says there is now $1 Billion in funding
Governor Gavin Newsom recently revealed a billion-dollar plan to help tackle the growing homelessness crisis in California. This “Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Round 4” funding is intended to provide much-needed financial aid for local communities. [i]
Initially, local governments aimed to reduce homelessness without shelter by 2%. In response, Governor Newsom put a stop to their funding last year. But now, the plan has changed, and the goal is to reduce homelessness across the state by 15% by 2025. [i]
The Governor declared that tiny homes would be supplied to four major cities in California—Los Angeles, San Diego County, San Jose, and Sacramento—to aid people who are homeless and are located in encampments. These dwellings are provided at no cost and prepared for residents to move in. [ii]
Each locality in California will independently determine where the 500 tiny homes allocated to Los Angeles, the 350 assigned to Sacramento, the 200 assigned to San Jose, and the 150 given to San Diego County will be placed.
