The Californer/10066742

SAN JOSE — Governor Gavin Newsom will continue his statewide homelessness tour today in San Jose, where he will meet with residents of tiny homes at a Bridge Housing Community site providing temporary housing.

In his State of the State address last week, the Governor cited tiny homes as an example of the innovative new models of housing his Administration is encouraging to combat the homelessness crisis.

On Monday, Governor Newsom visited South Los Angeles, where he met with formerly homeless families housed in state-owned travel trailers and announced the first cohort of local governments participating in 100-day challenges to partner with the state on immediate impact solutions to tackle homelessness. The Governor last week announced 286 state-owned properties immediately available to cities and counties for $1 to use for homelessness solutions, and met with local leaders from the League of California Cities to outline his Administration's five-part approach and invite partnerships.
