CSAC Conducts Regional Meeting
Solutions to Housing Affordability and Homelessness Crises
March 21, 2019
On any given night, California’s sheltered and unsheltered homeless population is roughly 130,000 people. Homelessness impacts all 58 California counties—rural and urban, northern and southern, inland and coastal. The affordability and availability of housing is at alarming levels in almost every part of the state. The housing issue is not only a crisis in its own right, but is one of the main drivers of California’s homelessness emergency.
CSAC continues to advocate for increased funding for affordable housing and finding flexibility in the use of existing funds in Sacramento. Today, more than 75 representatives from 15 different counties convened in Monterey County to discus realities of addressing homelessness and housing during the CSAC Central Coast & Central Valley Regional meeting.
