What to Know: $69 million spent in Oakland on “mixed homelessness results” is but one example of the pervasive absence of accountability in California’s homelessness system.

The TPPF Take: California’s homelessness crisis is fueled by a lack of accountability.

“With the number of homeless individuals rising ever higher in California, one might think that policymakers would seek to ensure that taxpayer funds earmarked for affordable housing will be put to good use,” says TPPF’s Michele Steeb. “However, a recent report highlighted one city’s grossly ineffective and potentially wasteful efforts at housing the homeless — a symptom not just of a lack of accountability, but a failed approach to tackling its homeless crisis.”
