$250M left on the table that could have helped homeless neighbors

A new, very thorough audit found that the County Homelessness Authority failed to spend $250M in funding to help people experiencing homelessness. People died on the streets because of the dysfunction on our local governments. This is outrageous.

Y’all agree that if a conservative government let people die, we’d be up in arms, right? For me, it’s almost more outrageous that some of the most left-leaning leaders in the country are not spending money to help some of the most vulnerable folks in our communities. I’m sick over this.
