Housing & homelessness Tackling homelessness and building more housing

Governor Newsom is tackling California’s homelessness crisis head-on. It’s an emergency decades in the making. But no more excuses, no more passing the buck. We will meet this emergency with the compassion and urgency it demands by:

  • holding cities and counties accountable,
  • getting and keeping more people in housing, and
  • building more housing, faster
