Bay Area cities and counties will receive more than $226 million in state grants to create over 800 new units of supportive housing for homeless people, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday.
Newsom announced the grants — part of $694 million in total awards for 35 projects across the state — while visiting a recently completed Homekey project in Los Angeles. While acknowledging the “anger” and “frustration” many feel over the homelessness crisis, Newsom said Homekey is an example of the more active role the state government has taken in recent years to tackle one of California’s most dire challenges.
In the Bay Area, at least 62 planned and completed projects have received grants for over 3,600 new units, according to state data — though some sites have been Wednesday’s announcement comes three months after long-awaited data showed homelessness in multiple Bay Area counties, despite the launch of Homekey and other efforts to help people get off the street.
