Homelessness Disinformation
LIE: On Fox News, it’s suggested 30% of California is homeless.
FACT: No, 30% of California is not homeless.
FALSE: $236 Million spent on just 22 people in four years of CARE Court
FACT: CARE Court has helped THOUSANDS of Californians into care to recover — not 22.
CLAIM: California’s budget would end HHAP, the state’s homelessness grant program.
FACT: HHAP is not ending.
MISLEADING: Governor Newsom vetoes homelessness audit legislation
Misleading! He already signed a bill doing something similar.
Homelessness is NOT increasing in California faster than anywhere else in the country.
Homelessness in California increased just 3.13%, while the nation saw a 18.13% increase.
FALSE CLAIM: Homelessness is growing faster under the Newsom Administration
In California, unsheltered population grew almost 4x faster from 2014-2019 (before Newsom Admin) than during the Newsom Administration.
FALSE CLAIM: $24 billion for homelessness went missing, no one knows where it went.
That’s flat-out false.
