Issue Position: Homelessness

Issues: Housing and Property
The state has spent nearly $3 billion over the last two years to address the homeless problem, yet the problem only gets worse. Why? Because the Sacramento politicians refuse to deal with the root causes of homelessness - namely drug abuse, alcohol abuse and mental illness. I support a compassionate approach based on facts and focused on these underlying causes - better treatment, better care, no excuses for criminal activity. Then we can transition people into jobs and permanent housing.
