"Homelessness - and affordability, housing availability and myriad other issues tangential to a very visible problem in California - is among the many concerns Californians have that the bevy of gubernatorial candidates will be asked to address as the campaign for governor continues this year."
"In fact, a recent Public Policy Institute survey found 8 in 10 Californians are at least somewhat concerned about homelessness in their area."
""I would make sure that any place in California that doesn't enforce the law on encampments, I will use state law enforcement resources to do that," he said in an October television interview."
Homelessness, housing affordability, and housing availability rank among leading concerns for Californians as the gubernatorial campaign progresses toward the primary. A Public Policy Institute survey found eight in ten Californians are at least somewhat concerned about homelessness in their area. Multiple gubernatorial candidates have begun outlining plans to address homelessness while some campaigns declined interview requests or did not respond. Republican Steve Hilton prioritizes enforcing local laws against encampments, pledges to use state law enforcement where localities do not enforce, and emphasizes treatment for people with mental health or substance abuse problems. Hilton referenced Golden Together proposals to curtail homelessness, including congregate recovery approaches.
