Auditor Says State Lacks Information on Effectiveness of Costly Homeless Programs
Sacramento, CA...Dear Governor and Legislative Leaders: The Joint Legislative Audit Committee requested an audit of the State’s homelessness funding, including an evaluation of the efforts undertaken by the State and two cities to monitor the cost‑effectiveness of such spending. The following report (2023‑102.1) focuses primarily on the State’s activities, in particular the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH)— while a separate report (2023‑102.2) details our findings and conclusions for the two cities we reviewed—San José and San Diego.
In general, this report concludes that the State must do more to assess the cost-effectiveness of its homelessness programs. The State lacks current information on the ongoing costs and outcomes of its homelessness programs, because Cal ICH has not consistently tracked and evaluated the State’s efforts to prevent and end homelessness.
Although Cal ICH reported in 2023 financial information covering fiscal years 2018–19 through 2020–21 related to all state-funded homelessness programs, it has not continued to track and report this data since that time, despite the significant amount of additional funding the State awarded to these efforts in the past two years. Cal ICH has also not aligned its action plan to end homelessness with its statutory goals to collect financial information and
ensure accountability and results. Thus, it lacks assurance that the actions it takes will effectively enable it to achieve those goals. Another significant gap in the State’s ability to assess programs’ effectiveness is that it does not have a consistent method for gathering information on the costs and outcomes for individual programs.
We also reviewed five state-funded homelessness programs to assess their cost-effectiveness. After comparing reported costs and outcomes to alternative possible courses of action, we determined that the Department of Housing and Community Development’s Homekey program and the California Department of Social Services’ CalWORKs Housing Support Program appear to be cost‑effective. However, we were unable to assess the cost‑effectiveness of three other programs we reviewed because the State has not collected sufficient data on the outcomes of these programs.
Among the recommendations we make is that the Legislature mandate reporting by state agencies on the costs and outcomes of their homelessness programs and that it require Cal ICH to compile and publicly report this information.
Respectfully submitted,
GRANT PARKS
California State Auditor

It's not that! They see this as a way to get rich with their "Nonprofit" serving the homeless. Just because they are "serving" the less advantaged they "deserve" that $500k salary! It's a get rich quick scheme for leftists

Homelessness is like illegal immigration, they both have coverage to be homeless, and the illegals come under the guise of being tormented, homeless are 99% drug addicted, and are protected because housing prices are too high these addicts couldn’t hold a job, they like their drugs to much, so what do the libtards do, throw money at it, it will go away! Neither have gone away, this s hit has to stop, vote for the Orange Man!

Too bad republicans just voted down their own immigration bill. Trump didn’t want Biden to get “credit” for fixing the border problem.
That really shows how much he cares.

To the Dems the border is functioning as they want it to. They only want to lower crossings because it s a political problem ahead of November.

Dotards have many complaints. Try coming up with solutions.
How would you solve homelessness?
How would you solve drug addiction?
How would you solve the high percentage of Vets that are homeless?
Tough questions.
What are your solutions?

Make it illegal to camp or sleep overnight on public property. Ticket those who break the rule but offer a night in a shelter as an option. Clean it all up

Inflation caused by global supply issues largely due to the pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine. Inflation is cooling here more quickly than many developed countries, largely due to this administration’s policies.

There you have it.
GOP controlled House of Representatives. Democrats control the Senate.
Democrat as President, preceded by a Republican.
Nobody is accountable. Democrats. Republicans. Independents.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Good God, Think for yourself man!! Has your leftist party drivel removed all hope of independent thought? At some point in your life you used to have goals, dreams and at least a hope of self-respect.
At some level you know we can't pay for all these government programs. Free money and never having to actually earn you way is never free.
Inflation sucked up all the "free" covid money.
