Right now, the approach to homelessness championed by many in the California Legislature is to allow encampments to grow in the communities of our state and attempt to help the people on the street only if there is a “permanent supportive housing” unit available to them.  Working with bold champions for changing this failed approach including Senator Catherine Blakespear from San Diego and Mayor Matt Mahan from San Jose, we are leading an effort to end unsheltered homeless through building manufactured housing to get folks off of the dangerous streets and connected to services that will help them become housed for good.  Over the course of the coming year, we are going to bring this effort to the broader public to ensure that the legislators that want to do the right thing have support and to make sure those who support prolonging the era of encampments hear from their constituents rather than only from the interests that support the status quo.
