"Gavin Newsom literally lost track of the $27 billion he spent on the homeless crisis," said Jones, citing the report as listing California first in homelessness, with an increase of 3% to 187,000. This highlights the criticism of Newsom’s spending, positioning it as ineffective rather than a solution.
"Today's HUD report makes it clear that instead of solving the problem, Newsom's endless spending 'solution' has only made it worse," said Jones, R-San Diego. This statement underscores the perspective that spending has not equated to tangible solutions in addressing homelessness.
"All that money is accounted for," Newsom's office stated, referencing the funds Jones claimed were 'lost.' They emphasized that accountability and strong reporting requirements for local governments receiving state funds have been improved to track the effectiveness of homelessness programs.
