California spent $24 billion to tackle homelessness over the past five years but didn't consistently track whether the spending actually helped alleviate the problem, according.

Santa Cruz County has benefited with nearly $22.9 million in state Project Homekey grants funding creation of 84 housing units for formerly homelessless individuals since 2022. The county also has received at least $10.4 million in state Homeless Encampment Resolution Grants in that time period, one targeting assistance toward individuals living along the San Lorenzo River, the other for those living in the Pajaro River riverbed.
