Following Gov. Gavin Newsom’s announcement Nov. 3 that the state would be pausing the third round of homeless grants to local jurisdictions, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti called the move “perplexing.”

The Homelessness Housing, Assistance, and Prevention grants, which amounted to $1 billion, would help address the lack of homeless housing across the state, according to Newsom.
