Housing California Statement on Recommendations of Governor Newsom’s Task Force
The following statement can be attributed to Lisa Hershey, Executive Director:
“As longtime advocates for an ongoing flexible fund focusing on rent support and operating subsidies, as well as for a single point of authority on homelessness, we applaud Governor Newsom’s task force on homelessness for including these recommendations. We encourage Governor Newsom and the Legislature to quickly adopt them as well as support AB 1845 to streamline policy and more quickly address homelessness. This will also ensure the California Access to Housing and Services Fund proposed by the Governor in his budget and executive order remains focused on evidence-based models of providing housing to those experiencing homelessness.”
