A $6.38 billion bond measure on California's ballot in March would provide $2 billion to counties for building homes and converting buildings into housing for homeless residents.
The bond measure, known as Proposition 1, aims to address homelessness, addiction, and mental health by funding housing and treatment programs across the state.
If passed, counties would need to invest a portion of their Mental Health Services Act tax dollars in housing programs, with half of that money going towards the chronically homeless or those living in tents.
