In a series of developments concerning homelessness in California, Proposition 1, aimed at addressing the state's homelessness crisis, narrowly passed with a razor-thin win, signaling growing voter fatigue around the issue. This comes amid actions by California leaders and advocates who have reacted to Prop. 1's passing. Governor Gavin Newsom celebrated the narrow victory, highlighting its focus on mental health measures. Concurrently, a federal judge, referred to as Judge Carter, has ordered a sweeping outside audit of Los Angeles' homelessness programs, including Mayor Karen Bass' inside safe program, to assess their effectiveness and management. This audit follows concerns over the misappropriation of funds and the effectiveness of programs like the CARE Court, which despite bipartisan support, faces obstacles in its implementation. Critics, including OC Supervisor Doug Chafee, argue it's unlikely to be utilized by homeless individuals as intended.
Advocates say Proposition 1, which was narrowly passed by California voters this month, will inject much-needed funds into a struggling mental health care system, but opponents worry about who will get left behind. https://t.co/LBcimCLnLE

"It was advertised as being a panacea for homeless people. They're unlikely to use it," says OC Supervisor Doug Chafee. https://t.co/WhGsoxOwcr
