Grateful to see more districts pass policies to limit smartphone use in schools. Thank you to Jonathan Zachreson for your leadership on this at Roseville City SD. #AB3216 will ensure this conversation happens at every school district in the state.

Yet another example of homelessness dollars being wasted. Taxpayer dollars are being used to enable alcohol addiction in San Francisco. We need accountability now, this has to stop.

Under Gov. Newsom, California went from a $98 billion surplus to declaring a “fiscal emergency” with massive deficits in a few short years. That pretty much defines fiscal mismanagement.

Asm. Josh Hoover & Assemblywoman Kate Sanchez discuss campus protests, NDAs in the legislative process, new legislation on self checkouts, the best state to be a police officer, community crime concerns, a lawsuit on homelessness, & a recent oversight hearing on homelessness spending.

'The long and short of it is we have to stop measuring success by how many dollars we're spending,' said Assembymember Josh Hoover (R-Folsom), who called for the state audit. 'I am frustrated by the lack of urgency that I see today and the lack of data.' yahoo.com/news/californi…

“We have to stop measuring success by how many dollars we're spending,” said Assemblyman Josh Hoover, R-Folsom. Hoover has written a bill that would require state-run homelessness programs to annually report data on their cost and outcomes.

A summary of today’s oversight hearing on homelessness:

💵 CA has spent $24 billion

📈 The homeless population has increased 32%

❓ Our lead agencies don’t know where the money went

💰 They want more money to implement transparency measures

A complete failure of leadership.

You can’t make this up. The Newsom Administration lost track of $24 billion in homelessness spending, and now wants more money to figure out where it went.

Today’s oversight hearing confirmed our audit’s most troubling findings. There is no accountability on homelessness. Improving transparency won’t happen unless we require it. The Legislature must approve #AB2903 and implement the Auditor’s recommendations ASAP. My full statement:

More lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are piling on, expressing frustration with lack of data and the cost of the state's affordable housing units.

Our state’s lead agency on homelessness told me in today’s oversight hearing that it can’t improve transparency without MORE money from taxpayers. Apparently, the billions we have spent while homelessness has skyrocketed is not enough. Completely unacceptable.

No urgency being shown by our state agencies to solve our homelessness crisis. After all the money we have spent over the past 3 years, they have no data to show where it went. This is unacceptable. The Legislature cannot continue funding programs with no accountability.
