Audit calls for Calif. to address homelessness problem
By Doug Smith, Los Angeles Times
California’s top auditor Thursday sharply criticized the state’s response to homelessness, recommending more spending and a stronger state role.
“California should do more to address homelessness,” the audit concluded. “California has more people experiencing homelessness than any other state in the nation, and it does a poor job of sheltering this vulnerable population.”
Other states with large homeless populations spend more per capita to shelter them and have single statewide entities dedicated to addressing homelessness, it said.
