Unprecedented spending by Gov. Gavin Newsom could help clear homeless encampments from Richmond to San Jose. But experts say we need more.

After pouring an unprecedented $12 billion into homeless housing and services last year, Gov. Gavin Newsom now is turning to the massive tent camps, shanty-towns and make-shift RV parks that have taken over California’s streets, parks and open spaces during the COVID-19 pandemic.

RICHMOND, CA – JANUARY 19: A vehicle encampment is photographed along Castro Street on Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2022, in Richmond, Calif. The city has applied for a state grant to address homeless encampments. “I think we would want to look at it a little bit more holistically,” said Christopher Martin, policy director for the advocacy organization Housing California. “We need to address all facets of homelessness, not just encampments.”

“It’s more than just closing down an encampment,” Milam said. “It’s making sure people have an opportunity to successfully transition.” And in Santa Cruz County, officials are hoping the money would help them try out a new strategy that gets people more involved in finding their own housing, said Robert Ratner, the county’s director of Housing for Health. They would award “housing scholarships” to encampment residents, and then work with the residents to spend that money in whatever way makes most sense for them.

SAN JOSE, CA – JANUARY 19: Vincent Kentzel sits next to his tent along the Guadalupe River Trail in San Jose, Calif., on Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2022.

Can he do something to make it affordable to live in California again if you earn less than $300K per household? I mean in the areas where there are 'white collar' jobs, most of which do not pay six figures.

How is $12b not enuff to build hundreds of apartment buildings ?

No. Newsom is useless. As he was at the beginning. Same he's useless to fight covid19. He is just wrong guy who gets votes.

no
