Floor remarks described AB 179 as structuring a $900 million homelessness investment while members again debated oversight and the scale of homelessness spending.

At a June 24 Assembly hearing, Sacramento city and county officials, advocates and service providers lined up behind SB 802, while Sacramento Act’s Alicia Deans recorded opposition.

SB 479 would let city-based local health jurisdictions like Berkeley run multidisciplinary homeless-response teams and share specified information across departments.

The measure cleared the Housing and Community Development Committee after testimony on Santa Clara County's prevention system and a broader debate over prevention versus shelter costs.
