A city audit has found LA spends $837,000 to house one homeless person. Perhaps this is why Newsom has done everything he can to block my statewide audit.

Two years ago, Newsom intervened to kill my audit of all homelessness spending in California. 87 percent of Californians supported my proposal. I was one vote away from getting it approved when Newsom pressured three legislators to “abstain.”

Incredibly, the Audit Committee Chairman actually tried to cancel the vote as the Governor’s aides eyed him from the witness table (video here).

I’ve now renewed my proposal, with an official request for an independent audit of all homelessness spending. The Joint Legislative Audit Committee will decide whether to approve it in the coming weeks.
