Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., was hit by conservatives for promoting California as a 'national model' for combating homelessness in a recent press conference.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., took heat from conservatives online after promoting California as a 'national model' for addressing homelessness for veterans and for those suffering with mental health issues. In response to Newsom’s press conference where he touted steps the state has taken to address the problem, critics mocked the notion that California could ever be seen as a 'national model' considering it has one of the highest homeless populations in the U.S.
Newsom’s presser touted Proposition 1, a ballot measure voted on in March that the governor has said will tackle the state’s homelessness crisis by boosting investments in housing and substance abuse programs. According to the legislation, more than half of the money taxed from California’s millionaires to provide for mental health services will be used as funds for housing and programs for homeless people with serious mental illnesses or substance abuse problems.
