Quick Glance: California's Lack of Oversight on Billions for Homelessness Programs: State Audit
- A new state audit report criticizes California for failing to track the effectiveness of its billion-dollar spending on homelessness programs.
- California is faulted for not taking enough measures to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of its homelessness programs.
- The audit revealed that two programs, including the Homekey program by the Department of Housing and Community Development and the CalWORKs Housing Support Program by the California Department of Social Services, appear cost-effective.
- The audit calls for improved data collection and public reporting of the costs and outcomes of homelessness programs in California.

mercurynews.com/2024/04/13/audit-san-jose-failed-to-adequately-track-300-million-in-homelessness-spending/
Quick Glance: Audit: Lack of Transparency in Tracking Homelessness Spending in San Jose
- A recently released state audit revealed that over the past three years, San Jose has not consistently reported on the expenditure of over $300 million to combat homelessness. This raises doubts about whether the money is actually contributing to alleviating the crisis.
- The report also found that San Jose lacks clear goals for its homelessness programs and does not have a cohesive plan for building the necessary affordable housing for the estimated 6,340 homeless residents.
- Auditors presented a series of recommendations for San Jose to implement by September, including public reporting on homelessness spending, developing a response plan with specific goals, and monitoring the performance of nonprofit service providers.
- Despite some disputes over the findings, the city has already started implementing many of the audit's recommendations. Mayor Matt Mahan emphasized the importance of setting goals, measuring results, and being accountable for outcomes.
