In a recent legislative update, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced his veto of a bill that would have helped homeless LGBT youth find transitional housing, specifically in San Diego and Sacramento.
Assembly Bill 589, authored by Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner (D-Encinitas), aimed to help youth ages 18 to 24 in the LGBT community transition from homelessness to permanent housing, or reunite with their families, and would have provided funds to community-based organizations to help facilitate the new program.
