SACRAMENTO – Assemblyman Josh Hoover (R-Folsom) announced the passage of Assembly Bill 2903 out of the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee, which would require state-run homelessness programs to annually report cost and outcome data to the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH). It would also require ICH to develop uniform procedures for collecting the data and reporting it to the public. The bill passed with unanimous bipartisan support on a 9-0 vote.
AB 2903 implements the recommendation of the California State Auditor following the results of a recent audit requested by Assemblyman Hoover, which found that the state has failed to systemically track homelessness spending and is not adequately positioned to collect data and assess outcomes.
