Audit in California Should Finds Billions of Dollars Spent on Failed System

California has spent $13 billion in the last three years to tackle a massive homelessness problem likely to worsen with the pandemic, yet its approach is so fragmented and incomplete as to hinder efforts at getting people into stable housing, the state auditor said in a report released Thursday.

The office of State Auditor Elaine Howle said that California continues to have the largest homeless population in the nation “likely in part because its approach to addressing homelessness has been disjointed.”

The office recommended that California copy other states in charging a single entity to oversee efforts or be responsible for developing a statewide strategic plan. The state lacks a centralized way to track spending, so it’s unable to determine where efforts are duplicative, the auditor said.

Sprawling tent encampments on city streets and along highways and river banks remain a common sight in California despite efforts to move unhoused residents to hotel rooms during the pandemic. About 150,000 people experiencing homelessness live in the state, including about half the country’s estimated 211,000 residents living unsheltered on the streets or in vehicles.
