Quick Glance: California's Lack of Oversight on Billions for Homelessness Programs: State Audit
  • A new state audit report criticizes California for failing to track the effectiveness of its billion-dollar spending on homelessness programs.

  • California is faulted for not taking enough measures to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of its homelessness programs.

  • The audit revealed that two programs, including the Homekey program by the Department of Housing and Community Development and the CalWORKs Housing Support Program by the California Department of Social Services, appear cost-effective.

  • The audit calls for improved data collection and public reporting of the costs and outcomes of homelessness programs in California.
