Local governments and organizations across California will be granted a slice of $827 million in state funding to better connect homeless people with shelters and services, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced in an Oct. 29 statement.

The governor, joined by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, said 37 regional recipients will disburse the funds to 100 local communities and organizations statewide to create new housing, shelter, and support for those experiencing homelessness.
