California to Build 1,200 Tiny Houses in Four Cities to Combat Homelessness

 

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a plan that he hopes will reduce homelessness. 

Newsom announced plans to build 1,200 tiny houses to help combat the state's homelessness problem. 

Under Newsom's state-funded plan announced Thursday, Los Angeles will get 500 homes, Sacramento will get 350, San Jose will get 200, and San Diego County will get 150. 

Newsom touted the proposal at a speech at Cal Expo in California, calling it a small part of the state's long-term strategy to combat homelessness. 

"In that continuum of rapid rehousing and that continuum of prevention, which is part of the original continuum, we have got to provide more options, so what we're doing is we're deploying these 1200 plus units," Newsom said at the event.
