The AT HOME Coalition for Accountability today
sent a letter to Governor Newsom and legislative leaders
urgently calling for the inclusion of CSAC’s accountability
framework in the 2023-24 state budget.
The policy recommendations contained in the Accountability pillar
form the core elements of a proposed comprehensive homelessness
system with clear responsibilities and accountability aligned to
authority, resources, and flexibility for all levels of
government. Our coalition is urging the adoption of these
provisions as the Accountability framework for the budget trailer
bill that is currently being negotiated.
The core elements of the Accountability pillar include:
Requiring local collaboration and submission of one
countywide or regional homelessness plan.
Requiring counties and cities to agree to a defined set of
roles and responsibilities as a condition of receiving HHAP
funding.
Providing ongoing HHAP funding (awarded on a three-year grant
cycle) to support the required plan.
Counties can help CSAC and the AT HOME Coalition for
Accountability in our efforts to build momentum by
sharing the letter with their delegation and advocating
for inclusion of the framework across social media.
