SACRAMENTO ~ Governor Gavin Newsom of California has announced the awarding of more than $81 million in grants to 11 communities as part of the state's efforts to prevent and end homelessness. The Encampment Resolution Fund (ERF) grants will provide services to 2,693 persons experiencing homelessness to help them move out of encampments and into permanent housing.
The ERF was designed by Governor Newsom and the Legislature to provide communities of all sizes with the funding to move people living in encampments into housing. In total, the Administration has budgeted $750 million to support 10,000 individuals living in dangerous conditions on our streets without shelter.
"Everyone deserves a safe and clean place to call home," said Governor Newsom. "California is moving with compassion and care to help move thousands of people out of encampments and into housing."
The Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (BCSH) and the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) are administering the ERF grants. BCSH Secretary Lourdes Castro Ramírez said, "Thanks to Governor Newsom's bold leadership on housing and homelessness, we are now announcing the third round of Encampment Resolution grants to eleven communities. Collectively, these communities will receive $81 million in new resources to provide assistance to nearly 2,700 unhoused people living in encampments."
