California will spend more than $81 million on 12 projects to move people from encampments into housing, bringing the total to $30 billion to address housing and homelessness, with $3.5 billion for homelessness in the 2023 state budget alone.
Six of the 12 projects funded will resolve encampments along state rights-of-way.
“Everyone deserves a safe and clean place to call home. California is moving with compassion and care to help move thousands of people out of encampments and into housing.”
The ERF, administered by the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (BCSH) and the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH), was designed by Governor Newsom and the Legislature to provide communities of all sizes with the funding to move people living in encampments into housing. In total, the Administration has budgeted $750 million to support 10,000 individuals living in dangerous conditions on our streets without shelter.
Projects are in communities large and small from Del Norte County to San Diego, with each community designing their project to provide a person-centered approach to helping their neighbors find a path home:
