<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cEncampments across our state are constant reminders of the broken dreams of struggling Californians and their loved ones, making them a stubborn, painful issue that we must tackle with empathy,\u201d said Governor Newsom. \u201cHomelessness affects us all and California is taking an all-hands approach to tackle this challenge from every angle.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Governor and his Cabinet members walked the Oakland encampment and spoke directly with people experiencing homelessness. The visit was followed by a Cabinet meeting to discuss the strategies all state agencies can employ to tackle the homelessness crisis.<\/p>\n
Governor Newsom\u2019s multibillion-dollar homeless housing investments will provide more than 55,000 new housing units and treatment slots in the coming years. Building on last year\u2019s historic $12 billion investment to help get the most vulnerable people off the streets, the California Blueprint proposes an additional $2 billion investment in behavioral health housing and encampment rehousing strategies, creating a total $14 billion package to confront the homelessness crisis.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, the Governor announced $50 million in grants through the California Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council\u2019s Encampment Resolution Grant Program, which was created in partnership with the Legislature. The grants will serve 19 communities throughout California to provide shelter or housing for 1,401 individuals currently experiencing homelessness in encampments.<\/p>\n
In September 2021, Governor Newsom set a goal of cleaning 100 encampments \u2013 since then, the state has cleaned 728 encampments, coordinating with local governments that provide housing and services to former residents. The state is on course to clear 1,000 encampments by the end of 2022.<\/p>\n
