California Democrats are divided over a new proposal to force cities to allow housing near major transit hubs, with some Democrats opposing the bill and others supporting it.
California local leaders are urging lawmakers to restore critical funding for the state’s Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) program before the legislative session ends, warning that the state risks undermining the progress made in reducing homelessness.
California lawmakers have eliminated new funding for the HHAP program in fiscal year 2025–26, potentially halting progress in addressing homelessness and forcing local governments to scale back services and programs.
