We know that #HousingFirst works, there just isn't enough housing for everyone who needs it.
If there aren't enough life jackets on a sinking boat for everyone aboard, you wouldn't conclude life jackets don't work.

"'People are homeless because their rent is too high. And their options are too few. And they have no cushion,' said Dr. Margot Kushel, initiative director and lead investigator."

🏠 Housing is essential.
💡When people have a safe, stable home they can afford, it makes other challenges — like health problems, unemployment, substance use, or mental illness — more manageable.

These elements are all core to success in communities reducing homelessness. #AB799 is the only proposal developed by people with lived experience, advocates, CoC and local gov staff, & business leaders. Together, we can @BringCAHome through #CABudget TBL.

My #AB799 just passed off the Assembly floor 68-0!
Homelessness is the top issue that Californians want to see addressed. AB799 addresses our homelessness crisis by enacting meaningful accountability measures, setting state goals and improving transparency.

The @BringCAHome coalition is the best!! #AB799
We were thrilled to join our @BringCAHome partners in Sacramento to advocate for key provisions from Asm. Rivas’s AB799 (HHAP Accountability and Results) to be included in the budget trailer bill language! #RacialEquity #LivedExperienceMatters #WorkforceCapacity #RegionalPlanning

Thank you @BringCAHome for partnering with me on #AB799! Together we will do this!
We're thrilled that #AB799 from our champion @AsmLuzRivas passed Appropriations Committee and is moving to a full floor vote in the coming weeks. We'll keep pressing to ensure accountability = advancing equity + investing in what works! #caleg

Our homelessness crisis is a policy choice & systemic failure that calls for sustained action at every level of government. We're proud to be a part of this coalition calling for ongoing funding in the #CABudget.
We’re excited to have @CABigCityMayors @CSAC_Counties @CalCities stand with our @BringCaHome partners as we ask our state leaders to prioritize ongoing funding for homelessness in the final 2023-2024 #CABudget! Read more here: bringcahome.org/news/ongoing… (1/3)

Ahead of @CAGovernor’s May Revise, @CABigCityMayors are calling for ongoing funding for homelessness through the State’s HHAP program.
CA cities have sheltered and housed tens of thousands of people experiencing homelessness. We need sustained investment to keep doing that work.

Most Californians would be surprised our state doesn't yet make an ongoing funding commitment to solve homelessness. A CA where everyone has a stable & affordable home is possible & includes many steps. Ongoing state funding is a big one.

At PATH, we envision a future in which all Californians have an affordable place to live and can access the services and care they need. That's why we're proud to be part of this coalition to create ongoing funding in this year's budget. Let's #endhomelessness, together.

In fact, according to the latest San Francisco PIT Count, respondents reported inability to afford rent (39%), lack of job or enough income (24%), and no money for moving costs (17%) as the top significant obstacles to obtaining permanent housing. #TruthIs #HomelessnessIsSolvable
✅ TRUTH: The best predictor of homelessness is a lack of affordable housing, not mental health or substance use. #TruthIs #HomelessnessIsSolvable

Director of Policy @ChrisBowenSoCal repping LAFH in Sacramento this week to advocate for #AB799, authored by @LuzRivas, which would ensure ongoing support and accountability for homeless services in CA!

Big win today for my team and @BringCAHome ! Our #AB799 passed Housing Committee.
In order to combat homelessness, the State must reform its current approach to issuing funds by enacting meaningful accountability measures, and setting State goals to anchor local progress.
Thank you to the Assembly Housing Committee’s overwhelming support for AB 799. Homelessness isn’t a urban or rural issue, or a Republican or Democrat issue. It is a California issue.
I am looking forward to advancing #AB799’s priorities this legislative session.

Some #homelessness & #affordablehousing highlights from the Senate #CABudget plan:
-$1B ONGOING for flexible local funding thru HHAP 🎉
-$500M additional for shovel-ready AH projects (LIHTC)
-$300M for other AH dev with "program allocation flexibility"

A huge step from the CA State Senate to ensure homeless services systems have ongoing, stable resources to scale up, staff up, & deliver housing & services that will end homelessness across CA. TY @SenToniAtkins & @NancySkinnerCA for your leadership!
