There is a growing homeless population in California, and there is said to be a “homelessness crisis”. While only 7 percent of the California population is homeless, that makes up over 161,000 people. Los Angeles County has the highest homeless population, at 66,436 people and over 41 thousand of those people are in the city of Los Angeles. Governor Newsom of California is in the works of creating a 12 billion dollar “comeback plan” to help fight homelessness. The plan will provide 65,000 people with housing placements, more than 300,000 people with housing stability and create 46,000 new housing units. After we clear out some of the homeless population, Newson wants the spaces where they once lived to be cleaned. “The Governor is proposing an additional $1.5 billion investment to clean public spaces near highways and transform public spaces through arts and cultural projects.”- Sierra Sun Times. Looking forward to seeing the progress California makes with this new plan!
