A new report explores lessons from the first round of funding for California’s Homekey initiative, an innovative program to address homelessness by dramatically increasing funding for permanent supportive housing. Authored by our Faculty Research Advisor Carolina Reid, Senior Research Associate Ryan Finnigan, and Research Assistant Shazia Manji, the report California’s Homekey Program: Unlocking Housing Opportunities for People Experiencing Homelessness offers seven case studies on local approaches, including Los Angeles, Fresno, Oakland, and Riverside, and gives a robust portrait of how the Homekey 1.0 funding has been deployed and how service providers, developers, and local agencies are implementing the program on the ground.
