California Republican leaders mocked Governor Gavin Newsom's response to a report highlighting the state's worsening homelessness crisis, claiming his spending hasn't effectively addressed the issue. State Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones criticized Newsom's handling of the $27 billion allocated to homelessness initiatives, citing the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's report which ranked California first in homelessness with a 3% increase. Jones accused Newsom of 'losing track' of the funds, while Newsom's office defended its spending, emphasizing accountability measures implemented to track the effectiveness of programs.
California Republican leaders appeared to mock Gov. Gavin Newsom ’s fiery response to a critical analysis of his handling of the Golden State’s homelessness crisis, saying that any increase in homelessness is not admirable. State Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones criticized Newsom, calling the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s year-end Homelessness Assessment Report an indictment of his capabilities.
statement from the Republican caucus of the California State Assembly keyed into Newsom’s recent thorough defense against an op-ed in the outlet CalMatters that made similar criticisms. 'In case you missed it, Governor Newsom’s office threw a tantrum over a column… that broke down his history of failure on homelessness,' the caucus, led by Assemblyman James Gallagher of Yuba City, collectively wrote.
Jones, the Senate minority leader, cited Friday that he co-sponsored bipartisan legislation to change California’s homelessness policies and focus on 'compassionate enforcement' of encampment violations. One of his proposals from this past term, which did not make it to Newsom’s desk, focused on existing state law deeming 'lodging' in a public or private place without permission to be disorderly conduct.
