California Gov. Gavin Newsom is seeking authorization from state lawmakers to fund residential facilities for homeless people suffering from mental health issues.
The initiative would be partially funded by general obligation bonds that would go toward the construction of"campus-style" facilities along with smaller homes and long-term residential settings, Newsom's office said.
State Sen. Susan Talamantes Eggman, D-Stockton, will introduce the measure, which would also earmark money to house more than 10,000 homeless veterans across the state, according to the statement. The announcement from Newsom comes as the governor is wrapping up a four-day tour of the state, highlighting his major policy goals instead of a traditional State of the State address.Last week, Newsom announced a plan to spend about $30 million to build 1,200 small homes across the state to help house homeless people. The homes can be assembled quickly and cost a fraction of what it takes to build permanent housing.
