Government policies have made homelessness worse.

The cause for this tragic increase can be attributed primarily to failing state and local government policies that have fueled homelessness. This includes directing funding almost exclusively to Housing First, a one-size-fits-all approach to homelessness. Using this approach towards every homeless individual in California would be prohibitively expensive ($75 billion) and studies show Housing First does not reduce homelessness. Meanwhile, an immense government regulatory regime on housing development disincentivizes and obstructs the building of all housing, driving the crisis in affordable housing.
