California's $33 Million Tiny Home Project Resumes to Tackle Homelessness
California has restarted its ambitious $33 million tiny home project aimed at addressing the state's homelessness crisis. The initiative, which had previously stalled, is now making progress with a groundbreaking event in East Hollywood attended by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and City Council member Hugo Soto-Martínez. The project plans to build approximately 1,200 tiny homes across the state, with 500 units in Los Angeles, 350 in Sacramento, 200 in San Jose, and 150 in San Diego. These homes are intended to provide transitional housing for the homeless, with local jurisdictions owning and managing the units. The project is part of a broader effort by Governor Gavin Newsom, who has allocated significant funding to reduce homelessness by 15% statewide by 2025.
