It lacks comprehensive statewide data, and it's fragmented approach is hampering the effectiveness of his efforts kept a case Mike Blunt has more. The audit found that the state has struggled to coordinate programs and services for at least 30 years. Margarita Fernandez, a spokesperson for the auditor's office, says currently there is little accountability right now. They still don't have a good graph. On what's available in the state and how much funding is there what the programs they're doing in the last three fiscal years, At least nine agencies were responsible for more than 40 programs to address and prevent homelessness. Fernandez says The council is also not providing support to the federal continuum of care system implemented to address the issue at the local level. They may not always be employing best practices to improve the homelessness. Services in their areas, and that's because it's it is without this centralized process. There's not exchange of information, Fernandez says.

Republican State Senator Jim Nielsen, who represents part of Sacramento County, agrees. Just really sad. All we're doing is inviting more homelessness. Not helping those who are homeless, certainly not helping in transition into stable lifestyle. He has a governor Gavin Newsom's poor leadership has exacerbated the issue. Governor being the primary responsible, not letting the ladies he's just doing what they want. Having the legislators and the governor tells them the agency's what we're gonna do when we're gonna do it, how we're going to do it. He ought to recommends the state Legislature make the homeless counsel the authority to collect and track funding data as well as provide clear in measurable goals to service providers.
