A mayoral coalition of the 13 biggest cities in the Golden State said if money dried up they would face “a fiscal cliff” that would result in the loss of thousands of shelter beds and the slashing of entry points to housing assistance.
San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, right, is among the state’s big-city mayors who went to Sacramento on Monday to plead for ongoing emergency homelessness funding.
A number of those mayors headed up to Sacramento on Monday to plead with Gov. Gavin Newsom, former mayor of San Francisco, and lawmakers to plead for leaders to remain committed to providing plentiful and flexible funding to fight homelessness. They noted that the state Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention grant program, one of the main sources of state assistance funding to cities, which launched in 2019, is set to expire next year. Another main source of funds is the Homelessness Emergency Assistance Program, which was established in 2018. Together, the mayors said they served 25,000 people and added more than 9,000 beds to shelters.
