California spent $24 billion on the state’s homeless crisis over the past five years, but it did not consistently track whether the enormous amount of spending was making a dent in the problem, a state audit has found.

The audit released Tuesday found California “lacks current information on the ongoing costs and outcomes of its homelessness programs.”

The state agency responsible for the issue “has not consistently tracked and evaluated the State’s efforts to prevent and end homelessness,” the audit discovered.

California has about 30% of the country’s homeless people, and the number continues to rise.

Just one more drop in the bucket:

California lost billions in COVID-related fraud and is trying to get some back : NPR

SAN FRANCISCO — California is slowly clawing back some of the estimated $20 billion in unemployment money stolen by domestic and international criminals, money earmarked for jobless relief during the height of the pandemic.

It is, by far, the largest reported amount of pandemic related fraud in any state.

 

So bad that even NPR reported on it! 😲
