We know that #HousingFirst works, there just isn't enough housing for everyone who needs it. If there aren't enough life jackets on a sinking boat for everyone aboard, you wouldn't conclude life jackets don't work.

When we think about accountability for state $, we must include: 1) getting more folks permanently housed, 2) supporting the workers who provide housing + services, and 3) reversing past and present inequities. That’s all part of #AB799 and we hope to see it in #CABudget TBL. 7/7

Homelessness is a crisis in California but we can't treat it like an emergency

Los Angeles declared a state of emergency on homelessness to spur action but there are drawbacks to treating this issue as an emergency.

My #AB799 just passed off the Assembly floor 68-0! Homelessness is the top issue that Californians want to see addressed. AB799 addresses our homelessness crisis by enacting meaningful accountability measures, setting state goals and improving transparency.

Just like that, #AB799 passes off the Assembly Floor with a unanimous, bipartisan vote of 68-0! Thanks @AsmLuzRivas for working alongside us to push for resources at scale and meaningful, equity-driven accountability for our state and local strategies to reduce homelessness.
