"California has spent $13 billion in the last three years to tackle a massive homelessness problem likely to worsen with the pandemic, yet its approach is so fragmented and incomplete as to hinder efforts at getting people into stable housing...The office recommended that California copy other states in charging a single entity to oversee efforts or be responsible for developing a statewide strategic plan. The state lacks a centralized way to track spending, so it’s unable to determine where efforts are duplicative, the auditor said."
