Neosom prohibits the veto of 255 housing recovery for homeless addicts in California

In a catastrophic miscalculation, he reveals his continuous adherence to failure, California Governor Javin Newsum He objected to the Society Law No. 255 on October 1. A procedure from the two parties was aimed at expanding the scope of access to the recovery housing for homeless individuals with drug abuse disorders.

Its veto comes at a time when homeless homeless people cannot bear more failure.

AB 255, authored by a member of the association, Matt Hani, would have allowed up to 10% of State funds for displacement To support housing, refrain from abstaining from sex. These shelter programs are combined with sobriety, accountability and supportive services that help people restore stability. Newsum rejected the draft law and described it as “unnecessary”, and insisted that the current guidelines already allow sober housing and warned of “double” groups.

An area looks empty.

Why are the progressive American progressive and attacking effective alternatives?

California He simulated the authorization of the federal government “Housing First” for the year 2013 – and promised to end the displacement within a decade.

In 2016, California became the only state that devotes the housing program first at the state level, which means that all the programs of the homeland funded by the state are compatible with the approach to providing lifelong housing without conditions such as moderation, treatment or work – at all.

Although federal spending increased by 300% since 2013 – and an additional increase of 300% in government spending – the displacement witnessed a huge explosion. It increased by 35% at the national level and 40% in California.

These statistics are not abstract numbers; It is a life that disintegrates in the shadow of a ruler who refuses to look at the mirror and recognize the strict failure of California.

Left legislators want to make the homeless camps a national crisis

At the heart of failure, the refusal to recognize those we serve. Nearly 80 % of the homeless suffer from diseases Mental illness And/or addiction. Many also suffer from loss of consciousness – a condition that affects the brain and leads to a self -awareness deficit, which means that they do not realize their illness.

This makes housing requirements first voluntary Participation in the service is tragicly not applicable. The 14 -year -old Boston study shows this: Nearly half of the residents who died within five years, and only 36 % remained in the housing after the fifth year.

The housing of recovery – the type that AB 255 sought to expand – offers a radical different thing: society, accountability and hope.

Those She tries to become sober You have the best chance to do this when you are alongside others seeking to achieve the same goal. Isolation in permanent housing without sobriety requirements contradict what service providers know on the front lines. By surrounding people with their peers who also seek recovery, and by building environments where sobriety is not negotiable, recovery housing gives people a real way to move forward – towards stability, employment and independence.

None of the men, women and children living in tents or under bridges aspired to this life. Many have arrived here due to trauma, addiction, mental illness and/or generations’ poverty.

By using the veto against the AB 255 resolution for the second year in a row, Ideomic Newsum chose instead of mercy and repression instead of prosperity. Instead of providing ways for dignity and recovery, it delivers those patients who cannot choose for themselves to their destiny; They were left to continue to disintegrate the streets or sit in low -barrier shelters full of chaos while waiting for the constant housing that rarely comes.
