In 2023, Gavin Newsom announced a $15 billion plan to address homelessness in California, emphasizing accountability. However, a state audit revealed that California had spent $24 billion on homelessness over the past five years without consistently tracking how the money was used or its effectiveness in reducing homelessness. This audit highlighted significant gaps in accountability and transparency in managing these funds.
Following the audit’s findings, which showed a lack of clear results despite the massive expenditure, Newsom faced substantial criticism. Despite this, in 2024, he vetoed a bill that would have introduced more stringent auditing and accountability measures for homelessness spending. This move has further fueled criticism, suggesting a reluctance to embrace full transparency and accountability in addressing the homelessness crisis in California (The Independent) (Washington Examiner) (Daily Wire) (PJ Media).
