After nearly a decade of significant taxpayer spending on homelessness, new measures were introduced to increase transparency and accountability. Voters approved $1.5 billion in funding through Measures ULA and A, which established a complex oversight structure involving a variety of stakeholders. While these measures aim to enhance management and effectiveness, there is concern over potential confusion due to the increased number of oversight boards and meetings. Leaders like Miguel Santana express hope that effective evaluation of homelessness investments will become routine in the future.
Voters accepted the deal, and this year, $1.5 billion or more from the two measures - ULA and A - will be flowing in orders of magnitude more than the previous ones.
Behind those names is a matrix of oversight boards, some made up of experts from government, business, housing development and homeless services and others of city and county elected officials and prominent nonprofit leaders.
