The mayors of 13 of California's largest cities Wednesday called on state lawmakers and Gov. Gavin Newsom to provide greater and more permanent funding to address the state's interconnected crises of homelessness, affordable housing and mental health care.
"We acknowledge that it's hard for many Californians to see these results and that's because we're simply not keeping pace with the number of people who are becoming newly homeless," Gloria said.
"Homelessness is solvable, but we need the resources to scale the projects and programs to have an impact," Gloria said. "For the first time in seven years we have reduced unsheltered homelessness in San Jose primarily because we were building emergency interim housing that gives people a private room with the door that locks, a private bathroom, a dignified safe space at a fraction of the cost of building long-term permanent housing," Mahan said.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed said making the funding permanent would bring an element of predictability that has been missing from the state's efforts to support cities, as budgets have gone up and down as the state faced recession, the pandemic, a temporary influx of federal dollars and is now facing another economic slowdown in coming fiscal years.HHAP funds have been given as grants on a yearly basis since 2018.
