Summary

The Ending Street Homelessness Act amends state housing and welfare codes to require cities and counties to assess current homelessness, create coordinated regional action plans, and use state grant money to expand low‑income and supportive housing. It sets deadlines, reporting standards, and property‑tax exemptions to boost housing inventory and track outcomes. The law seeks to reduce the number of people living on the streets across California.
