California’s homelessness crisis has exploded into a financial disaster. Despite spending $37 billion over six years, the homeless population has grown by 36,000 while billions vanish without accountability. A federal task force is now investigating $2 billion in missing taxpayer funds meant to help the most vulnerable.
Cities across the state are drowning in red ink. San Francisco faces a $2 billion deficit, Oakland $115 million, and San Diego $250 million. Even as tent cities multiply, audits reveal shocking waste—70% of state homelessness funds sit unspent, and L.A. County pulled $300 million from a failing agency.
Governor Newsom’s administration deflects blame while scaling back promises like free healthcare for illegal immigrants. His $900 million Encampment Resolution Program can’t prove it’s moved anyone into housing. Assemblyman Josh Hoover calls it a “systemic failure”—your tax dollars poured into a bottomless pit of bureaucracy.
The feds uncovered $24 billion in questionable homelessness spending statewide. Los Angeles alone can’t account for $2 billion as streets overflow with encampments. In Sacramento, only 5 out of 50 homeless residents accept shelter offers—proof that money isn’t solving the problem.
Liberal policies prioritize open-air drug markets over public safety. Despite record spending, California hosts half of America’s homeless population. Newsom calls it a “national model,” but auditors found zero transparency or measurable results from his programs.
Hardworking families foot the bill while homeless services agencies evade scrutiny. The FBI and IRS are now tracking funds through shell games and bloated contracts. L.A. Supervisor Kathryn Barger admits oversight is “long overdue” after audits exposed rampant mismanagement.
Newsom blames Trump as California burns. His failed leadership turned the Golden State into a cautionary tale of woke governance. Taxpayers demand answers—where’s the money going? Why are shelters empty? Why do bureaucrats get rich while Americans sleep in filth?
This isn’t just about missing billions. It’s about a radical ideology that values virtue signaling over solutions. Until real accountability replaces political games, the homelessness crisis—and the waste—will keep growing. Patriots deserve better than lies and disappearing dollars.
