California's Billion Dollar Bailout To Homeless People Ends With MORE Homeless People

California spends an astounding amount of money to "combat homelessness". Presumably. California has failed to adequately monitor the outcomes of its vast spending on homelessness programs, according to a state audit released Tuesday, raising questions about whether billions of dollars meant to thwart the crisis has been worth it as the number of people living unsheltered has soared.

A new report from the California State Auditor’s Office found that a state council created to oversee the implementation of homelessness programs has not consistently tracked spending or the outcomes of those programs.

“The state must do more to assess the cost-effectiveness of its homelessness programs,” California State Auditor Grant Parks said in a letter sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers Tuesday accompanying the audit. I know this is a crazy question to ask, but does all that spending actually do anything to reduce the amount of homelessness?

California has spent $20 billion over the past five years dedicated to the state’s homelessness crisis, including funneling money toward supporting shelters and subsidizing rent. Still, homelessness grew 6% in 2023 from the year prior, to more than 180,000 people, according to federal “point in time” data. Since 2013, homelessness has grown in California by 53%.

The California Interagency Council on Homelessness — created in 2016 to oversee the state’s implementation of programs dedicated to the worsening crisis — has not ensured the accuracy of the information in a state data system and has not evaluated homelessness programs’ success, according to the state auditor.

Out of five state programs analyzed, auditors found that two were likely cost effective: Project Homekey — Newsom’s COVID driven project to convert hotels into housing — and the CalWORKs Housing Support Program, which offers financial assistance and other services to low income residents. The others analyzed, including a state rental assistance program, could not be reviewed because “the state has not collected sufficient data on the outcomes of these programs,” according to auditors.

Based on the data available, the audit also revealed that most people involved in state programs are placed into interim housing such as shelters and do not end up in permanent housing.

As anyone with a functioning brain will conclude, there has been massive amounts of fraud, money laundering and corruption. This is massive grift and questionably a ponzi scheme exploiting taxpayer money.

“California is facing a concerning paradox: despite an exorbitant amount of dollars spent, the state’s homeless population is not slowing down,” Sen. Roger Niello (R-Roseville) said in a statement. “These audit results are a wake-up call for a shift toward solutions that prioritize self-sufficiency and cost effectiveness.”

Assemblymember Gregg Hart (D-Santa Barbara), chair of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, said Tuesday he plans to conduct an oversight hearing to “further investigate” the audit results.

“San José and San Diego identified hundreds of millions of dollars in spending of federal, state, and local funding in recent years to respond to the homelessness crisis. However, neither city could definitively identify all its revenues and expenditures related to its homelessness efforts because neither has an established mechanism, such as a spending plan, to track and report its spending,” the audit states. “The absence of such a mechanism limits the transparency and accountability of the cities’ uses of funding to address homelessness.”

It appears that some pressure has been put on cities to show their work. Los Angeles reportedly has agreed to a large-scale audit of its own homelessness programs after spending hundreds of millions of dollars on them.

But the question remains: Why hasn’t this data been tracked if California officials are serious about curbing homelessness, a problem that has mushroomed in LA and many other California cities?

Why is it that an endless supply of taxpayer money flows toward homelessness regardless of outcome?

Poverty programs in California appear to be increasingly just pure redistribution of wealth. That’s probably fine with the Golden State’s ruling powers that be. Our society certainly has become more accustomed to the idea of permanent entitlements.

How about simply not voting for corrupt incompetent Democrats into power for a change and elect people who actually care about America for once? Maybe all these assholes running our federal and State governments are bad leaders and are the same people causing all this misery and defeatism?

It's a situation of "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss". It's not like the Republicans are gonna change anything groundbreaking and US system means a third party is incredibly tough to win.
