New federal data shows that despite the state of California allocating $17.5 billion to fight homelessness in the state, the homeless population has grown.
California Highway Patrol catches a homeless hitchhiker in a highway chase, for stealing a car from a good Samaritan who offered to drive him from Bakersfield to Los Angeles County. over $17 billion to combat homelessness in the last several years, its homeless population has actually increased.
CNN responded to Elliott’s answer, noting in the piece that"with $17.5 billion, the state could, theoretically, have just paid the rent for every unhoused person in California for those four years, even at the state’s high home costs." Elliott further noted the state needs"2.5 million more" housing units for the state’s homeless, and admitted that’s where the government of California has created a problem.
California government officials claim they are"facing a tidal wave" when it comes to dealing with homeless people in the state. Another myth the report dispelled is that other states’ homeless come to live on the streets in California. Kushel corrected that, stating,"nine out of 10 people lost their stable housing here. These are Californians. We have to create the housing for all Californians."
