Original Note:
The $24 billion figure is misleading. Per a state auditor report, they have spent $24 billion since 2018 in total and not annually. https://sfist.com/2024/04/09/state-audit-blasts-california-for-spending-24-billion-on-homelessness-but-not-tracking-whether-much-of-it-works/ "Spending reached a high of $6.8 billion in 2022-23, fueled by the surge in state revenue during the pandemic and flexible federal dollars." https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/protecting-progress-state-housing-and-homelessness-funding-must-continue/
