Quick Glance: California Voters Approve Measure to Combat Homelessness
- California voters have approved measures that mandate counties to allocate funds for housing and drug rehabilitation programs to address the homelessness crisis.

- Opponents argued that the change jeopardizes programs not solely focused on housing or drug rehabilitation, but on preventing individuals from becoming homeless in the first place.
