National Alliance to End Homelessness

In February, California Senate President Pro Tempore Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) introduced the “No Place Like Home Initiative” to the Senate Budget Committee. The package includes initiatives aimed at assisting different homeless populations, from the chronically homeless to families in need of temporary assistance in getting back on their feet, as cities around the state face growing numbers of homeless residents.

Last month, before the Senate fell into the disarray of the government shutdown, the Committee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions (HELP) kicked off a series of hearings on higher education.
