SACRAMENTO – California awarded Oakland and San Francisco a combined $22 million in state grants to convert hotels in each city into permanent housing for homeless residents, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said Wednesday.
Once completed, the complex will serve as permanent housing for chronically homeless residents and will offer counseling and other social services. Like the Piedmont Place project, the complex in San Francisco will include supportive social services for its residents.Study Finds Moving To Zero Emission Vehicles Would Have Health Benefits For Bay Area, Save Lives
The state has awarded more than $1.3 billion in Homekey grant funding across the state since launching the program. Those funds have supported the creation of nearly 8,000 housing units, according to state officials, including hundreds in the Bay Area.
