Governor Gavin Newsom has launched a state website designed to track homelessness interventions by counties and cities in California. This initiative follows last year's audit revealing inadequate monitoring of homelessness solutions. The platform details the number of housing units built from 2019 to 2023, population fluctuations, and behavioral health services provided. Counties not meeting housing goals risk losing state funds. Newsom highlighted the need for stricter management of homelessness, urging for an end to permissiveness regarding encampments.
