Governor Gavin Newsom is selling a $6 billion measure to deal with the rising homelessness and psychological well being crises in California. Proposition 1 will embody modernizing the Psychological Well being Providers Act and Meeting Invoice 531, together with a $6.38 billion bond to construct new psychological well being housing and substance abuse remedy facilities throughout California.
“We will not proceed to do what we have completed,” Newsom stated at a Wednesday convention. “You may get what we have.” The marketing campaign was launched alongside state regulation enforcement, first responders and lawmakers. Voters could have the prospect to vote on the poll in March 2024.
“Individuals are prepared to come back off the road, however you must handle why they’re unhoused to start with,” stated Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

He has been saying he will get rid of homelessness since 2004 when he was mayor in San Francisco. And we all see how amazing San Fran is doing or California under his reign. God save us if he runs for president.
Just like the railroad, you won't see progress and taxes will just keep going up to line the governor's pockets
More money down a black hole will just cause more problems these corrupt politicians will profit from the scam.
No more money for bums! It isn’t working
Just another money grab. Took $92B surplus and now CA has $67B deficit. He’s full of 💩💩💩💩💩💩 and nothing he does ever works out. It is a good idea but DemonRats will highjack the money. Taxpayers will wind up paying for it one way or another like PG&E negligence.
Here is my concise research on Prop 1 in 2024 California. Vote judiciously folks.
1. Politically connected developers will build treatment “facilities” for the homeless. That’s permanent housing—free condos for the homeless.
2. Most homeless people are mentally ill with drug/addiction problems who can’t hold down a job.
3. Free housing does NOT require homeless people to get mental health treatment.
4. Over $6 billion dollars of debt will be incurred and paid by California taxpayers in the next 30 years.
5. Also, existing mental health funds will be DIVERTED to this new housing project built by politically connected developers.
6. Finally, taxpayers can’t vote down where those housing facilities are placed. That means politicians or govt officials decide where to insert the new govt housing projects. Rich or poor, you can’t reject or vote down the decision.
Does this prop 1 help the homeless people or enrich political pushers and their cronies?
https://berkeleytraininginstitute.wordpress.com/2024/02/05/noooo-on-prop-1-yes-to-mental-health/
Noooo on Prop 1 “Pleeeeease don’t gutt mental health programs for recent immigrants and other underserved communities.
I’m all about serving homeless families, (built award winning program) and… CA Voters passed Prop 63 tax on 1% for mental health; esp people without access to care.
Gavin Newsom and Co. plz don’t try to overturn 63 (by passing Prop 1) bc we already voted. Again, IF prop 1 fails; THEN will u use rainy day funds from when we CA had $billions surplus? A better solution for people in tents, veterans, and children w unmet mental health needs.
Vote no on prop 1 ❤
The problem is Prop 1 does not specify where all of the money goes. The heart tugging ads say it goes to veteran homeless and mental health thats BS. The final destination of most of that money will be dictated by Congress (their pockets/special interests/pork barrel projects) and they have a bad track record for fiscal responsibility. The 6 billion in bonds issued by the State will be paid for by YOU, the taxpayer. Vote NO on Prop 1 unless you like making politicians and their families richer. I'm a veteran, my 5 kids are veterans, write better legislation that directly helps the veteran homeless and mentally ill.
If you cant even afford to build the high speed train, how the hell are you going to afford any of this?
Yeah right. If Handsome Gavin could have fixed this he would have.
Lies… They just want more money for nothing. No …to everything with more taxes. We are ready gave money for that and got nothing.
The California Health and Human Services Agency will provide $835.6 million in funding between 2023 and 2024, and $2.6 billion annually to expand Medi-Cal to residents regardless of immigration status.
However, eligibility requirements still apply, including income limits based on household size, according to a release by the California Department of Health Care Services.
There goes the money right there.
6 billions of dollars todo nothing but raise our taxes
Prop 1
You must read this bill from start to finish! If you don’t take it from someone who did!
This is a Bond, a bond is a loan that must be repaid with interest by the people, not the Government!
They add these to your property taxes, ie:BONDS look at your property Taxe Bill
This Bond (loan) is for 6.4 BILLION DOLLAR BOND
Read the fine print Newsom can use this money borrow more money with this money and use this money to well let me Quote the text from the bill…..
“in addition , moneys in the fund or other proceeds of the sale of bonds authorized by this chapter may be used to pay principal of , or redemption premium on, interim debt issued prior to the issuance of bonds authorized by this chapter” Page 103 par(3)
We need to unite and send a message to the state of California!
NO on prop 1 Newsom dig yourself out of this mess you made yourself!
They admit it will only help a small percent of homeless
I was homeless for 4 years, is a big lie that they are going to share those millions with the homeless because every time the CEO,s of those homeless shelters were getting money I didn't see or get nothing other than a donated blanket, and the food was the same donated by the food banks I will vote NO on prop. 1
It's a no from me Jack
😵💫Just like schools every year there is a x prop, and the money banishes(ukraneETC.)but we pay tax increase + inflation
The time is now Vote yes on prop 1 and 1 billion will go directly to veterans and the rest will help those struggles homelessness with also included mental health and housing and to be honest im very proud of those who served and sacrifice for our country not only for their braves and giving but to show how much they are loved for this country and they are willing to risk everything so I'm here to salute our hero and they are deserved prop 1 and prop 1 is not an option or either a choice but is a right things to do as well please vote for prop 1 ❤
Fake news, he is completely mismanaging money already allocated for this so why give this psychopath more money to mismage?
Low income housing is just outrun lip stick on the pig of the issue. We need to figure out what homeless are mentally ill and which are not, bring back asylums for the latter to get them on proper meds and once balanced out have them join the latter group by having them see a job recruiter. I know there are those don’t want to pay for someone’s healthcare but it’s better than having to deal with someone that’s a danger to others and themselves in public.
So now they are gonna create props and then cheat to have them passed so they can get the 💰 got it
Newsom still does nothing for anyone
They are taking money back from the counties, not giving it to them. Gavin will spend it on illegal migrants not veterans and homeless. Everything Gavin Newsom has done starting with his “care not cash” program that created homeless problem in the first place when Gavin was SF Mayor. It will result in higher taxes with zero results despite what Gavin says. CA had $92B surplus when Gavin took office; now CA has $67M deficit. Gavin has zero management skills and is not trustworthy; vote “no.”
If they can help illegals with a proposition or vote, why can't they help the homeless and veterans. Vote No on this and demand your representative to put us first before illegals.
Hasn't he been "tackling" the homeless problem for years? How many billions spent while it only gets worse?
As a California combat veteran I say this will all my heart, Gavin Newsome can go kick rocks. Dude doesn’t have a single drop of leadership ability. I love how he waits till election time to drop Prop 1. How come you didn’t do this years ago? Also, why just help homeless vets? Why not help all homeless? There’s probably like 3 legit homeless vets. The rest are all just normal Americans who fell on hard times and desperately need help which Gavin refuses to give them unless it’s around voting season. He’s fishing for votes
NO!👎🏼👿
If Newsom and his corrupt cronies support Prop 1, you know it's a scam. Both the League of Women Voters and Mental Health America oppose Prop 1. The League of Women Voters does their research and they are a credible organization that has been around for decades. Mental Health America is one of the oldest organizations supporting the mentally ill.
"Proposition 1 will include modernizing the Mental Health Services Act"
Prop 1 will take 30% of MHSA money that goes to counties and send it to who knows where in Sacramento. The 30% MHSA money that they steal from counties can be used to serve people who don't have a diagnosis of mental illness.
Not everyone that’s struggling is a druggie dammm this is sad how stereotypical this is
VOTE NO ON 1
Don’t be fooled Newsome has done nothing to fix the homeless crisis! In his commercial he said “We” but I never voted for him he is a waste of a governor, never doing anything for homeless people. Instead that money will be spent on Illegal Immigrants while our U.S. Homeless vets/citizens be out in the cold! Time to elect another Governor! Enough NEWSOME NONSENSE!
YOU CANNOT FIX THE HOMELESS PROBLEM IN CALIFORNIA, UNLESS IF THEY STOP OTHER HOMELESS
COMING IN HERE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. MOST OF THOSE HOMELESS ARE NOT FROM CALI, THEY CAME FROM ANOTHER STATE, ALSO, ONLY 25% OF THE MONEY GOES TO THE HOMELESS WHILE THE OTHER 75% GOES TO THE POLITICIANS POCKETS, CALIFORNIA WAKE UP!! YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED AGAIN! AND AGAIN! THEY BEEN DOING THIS FOR DACADES!!
No on this one.
Me governor please aim to tackle the economy and stop raping to poor people
For every $100 spent, $1 will go to the homeless, $99 will go to high salaries.
Anyone homeless when we've had the best economy for the past 15 years has no excuse. Don't waste any more money on people who will always be homeless.
Prop 1 is to collect more taxes on people and will not help the mental health. It's another way the Governor takes your money and spend on his lavish lifestyle. Please vote NO on prop 1.
It panders to the Lobbyists who build Free Condo’s for a small number of Homeless, but does nothing to solve the Problem. It just makes money for the Builders and the Government Agency managing it. Create another Boondoggle that will be charged to the ever dwindling number of Tax Payers in California.
Looks like taxes will be going up again, another Gavin Newsom project .😢
This money, like billions before it will vanish with little or no accountability and Gavin and his cronies will be begging for more money.
Governor Newsom tried to ask us for a tax raise to cover homelessness but we said no on the last election. So now, we go to bonds & that's a better bc it's cheaper. We must combine all these problems together with a combined effort to do something about these problems bc it's growing at a fast pace. We must help to alleviate the situation. Everyone complains about homelessness, mental health, drug addiction & such but no one's willing to step up. I've stepped up & voted yes bc something has to be done. I was chased around my car by a homeless person & my daughter barely got in the car & I told her to lock the door. He left me alone after a few rounds of my car. My daughter still remembers that to this day, as a young woman. Back then, she was barely 8 years old. I was a good runner back then.
IS ALLOT OF CORRUPCION IN LOS ANGELES GOBERNOR NEWZON AND MAYOR BAZZ JUST TAKING BILLIONSAND WHI DON'T SEE WERE THEY GOINT THEY NEED TO BUILD WEREBER IT IS FOR THE HOMELESS?? OUT THE CITY AND THEY NEED ENFORCE THE LAWS MOST OF THA PEOPLE THEY NOT EVEN HOMELESS THEY JUST LAZY PEOPLE THE DON'T WANNA WORK WHEN WE NEED THA MONEY IN PARKS ESCHOL PROGRAMS FOR KIDS HELTH POLICE
Glad that they are finally taking action on this. Hopefully it helps the situation and more cities need to also focus on fixing these problems.
