California voters approve measure requiring counties to address homelessness crisis
thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4546832-california-voters-approve-measure-requiring-counties-to-address-homelessness-crisis/
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.

Quick Glance: Varadkar Admits Defeat in Ireland's Referendum on Family, Women's Roles
- Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar announced that the referendum on redefining family and women's roles in the constitution has failed.
- The government backed the proposed changes, aiming to broaden the family definition and clarify women's duties in society.
- The two proposals sought to amend article 41 of the Irish constitution from 1937 to recognize and distribute the care provided by family members.
- The votes reflect Ireland's evolving identity and the diminishing influence of the once-dominant Roman Catholic Church in the country.
