Homeless Bill Approved By State Senate

The California Senate approved yesterday, what some lawmakers have called a carrot-and-stick approach to the state’s housing crunch. The bill would set aside $650 million to address homelessness while incentivizing housing projects meeting certain criteria. The legislation also waives some of the regulations for opening homeless shelters at a time when plans for new facilities have gotten bogged down by red tape. Assembly Bill 101 also sets up a process to punish cities that consistently fail to meet the state’s housing policies.
