Accountability, transparency sought in California homelessness assistance

(The Center Square) – Progress, or lack thereof, being made in California counties and cities on homelessness, housing and behavioral health can be tracked on a new website, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday.

Local governments are being provided $118.7 million for 14 projects to move people out of encampments and into shelters and housing, the second-term Democrat said. About half that money, $56.4 million, is going to Los Angeles to address three encampments near Interstate 10, Hollywood Boulevard and the Los Angeles River.
