Newsom’s AB 255 veto blocks recovery housing for California homeless addicts
NEWNow you can listen to Fox News Articles!
California Governor Gavin Newsom, with a disastrous miscalculation that revealed that his commitment to failure continues, on October 1, the parliamentary bill of law veto 255. This was a two -party measure designed to expand the access of homeless who struggled with substance use disorders to recovery houses.
The veto came at a time when the homeless in California could not remove any failure.
Written by the Assembly Member Matt Haney, the EU 255 would allow it to support deprivation -based rescue houses up to 10 percent of state homelessness funds. These programs combine the shelter with supportive services that help re -gain the stability of people’s stability. Newsom rejected the bill as “unnecessary”, stating that the existing rules have already allowed sober houses and warned the “repeated” categories.

His reasoning seems to be empty.
Why do progressive homeless Americans fail and attack effective alternatives
California imitated the federal government’s “housing” instruction in 2013 and the promise of terminating homelessness in ten years.
In 2016, California was the only state to celebrate the Housing First throughout the state; This means that all homeless programs financed by the state comply with the approach of providing a lifetime subsidy for life without conditions such as disadvantage, treatment or work.
Despite an increase of 300 %in federal expenditures since 2013 and an additional 300 %increase in government expenditures, an explosion took place. 35 %at the national level and a 40 %increase in California.
These statistics are not abstract figures; These are the lives that refuse to look in the mirror and solved under the rule of a governor who accepts that the strict authority of California has failed.
Left deputies want to make homeless camps into a nation -wide crisis
The basis of failure is to refuse to recognize who we serve. Approximately 80 %of the homeless suffers from mental illness and/or addiction diseases. Many of them are also struggling with Anosognosia, a brain -based condition, which results in a lack of personal awareness, so they are not aware of how sick they are.
And this is what provides the condition of Housing First. voluntarily The service commitment is tragically useless. A 14 -year research in Boston clearly demonstrates this: almost half of the hosted individuals died in five years, and only 36 %remained at the housing after the fifth year.
The kind of rescue houses that the EU 255 are trying to expand off offers something different: community, responsibility and hope.

Those who try to sober have the chance to achieve this when they are hosted with other people who strive for the same purpose. In permanent houses that are not obliged to disgrace, isolation contradicts the things that the providers in the front ranks work. By surrounding people with their peers who seek healing, and creating environments in which soberness is undisputed, healing houses offer people a real way towards stability, employment and independence.
None of the men, women and children living under the bridges in tents, none of them aspired to this life. Many came here because of trauma, addiction, mental illness and/or generational poverty.
Newsom, EU 255 in a row in the second year vetoed the ideology instead of compassion, chose the pressure instead of prosperity. Instead of presenting honor and ways to healing, he leaves patients to their destiny that they cannot choose for them; Rarely, they have to continue to scatter the streets while waiting for the permanent houses or to continue to rot in low -bar, chaos shelters.

California is home to approximately 30 %of the homeless population in the country and almost half of the homeless non -shelter. Confronting this crisis requires the courage to innovate, belief in healing and respect for human potential. The EU 255 was a balanced and modest step that could complete the Housing First, while giving helpless people the chance to recover.
The fact that Newsom’s EU 255 vetoed the administrative cautiousness was actually a deep moral failure. Shame on him because he is standing in front of healing, healing and hope.
