In March 2023, Gov. Gavin Newsom promised 1,200 tiny homes to shelter homeless residents but faced delays and lack of public records transparency in project progress.
Companies contracted to supply tiny homes highlighted challenges such as changes in project parameters, cities receiving cash grants instead of actual units, and lack of state promotion for the effort.
In San Jose, the state's decision to award cash grants for tiny homes left the city with additional expenditure of $22.7 million for building homes for 200 people, causing financial strain.
Anmol Mehra from Plugin House criticized the state for not providing enough support and resources, stating readiness to help and highlighting the absence of a central website to list vendors and models.
