California Governor Gavin Newsom has unveiled a significant expansion of the state’s efforts to address homelessness, announcing $827.5 million in new grants aimed at creating sustainable solutions for more than 100 local communities and organizations.
The funding package includes robust accountability measures to ensure effective implementation of local homelessness strategies. This latest initiative builds upon recent state actions, including a $131 million allocation from the state’s $1 billion Encampment Resolution Fund to help local governments address homeless encampments and provide essential services.
Among the recipients, the Northern California region encompassing Del Norte, Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, and Siskiyou counties will receive $7.1 million to support local homelessness initiatives.
