Lawmakers are advocating for federal assistance to prevent homelessness amid the COVID-19 pandemic. California House lawmakers seek reconsideration of a decision requiring local governments to cover $300 million in COVID housing expenses. Efforts are being made to ensure FEMA reimburses cities for housing homeless individuals during the emergency.
