Gavin Newsom Declares “Huge Victory” As Proposition 1 Passes By Slim Margin; $6.4B Bond Measure To Combat Homelessness & Mental Health Needs
deadline.com/2024/03/proposition-1-passes-gavin-newsom-homelessness-1235864161/
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.
- Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, successfully advocated for the measure, which represents an update to the state's health system and required significant financial backing.
- The measure gives the state more control over a voter-approved tax enacted in 2004 for mental health services and obligates counties to spend about two-thirds of the funds on housing and programs for homeless individuals with severe mental illnesses or substance abuse issues.
- 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.
