More than $2.1 billion of Prop 1 funding is going toward local Homekey+ projects to provide local communities with resources to build permanent supportive housing with services. About 50 percent of housing funding will go toward projects for serving veterans, according to Governor Gavin Newsom.
“We’re proud of our veterans — and California stands shoulder to shoulder with those who’ve served. We see their courage, their sacrifice, and we meet that with care, opportunity, and community,” Newsom said. “When they come home, we don’t just thank them — we honor them and work to make sure they have the housing, healthcare, and jobs to thrive.”
This project aims to serve veterans facing mental-health issues, suffered from traumatic brain injury or have experienced post-traumatic stress disorder, who may have a more difficult experience when it comes to finding stable housing. The governor’s Homekey+ program to ensure that veterans can access supportive housing supports a variety of other programs for veterans in California.
So far in October, 75% of supportive housing projects have completed construction. After all projects are completely built, California will have added 6,561 units of affordable and permanent supportive housing for veterans.
