California lawmakers have agreed to conduct a Bipartisan audit to determine why homelessness has increased in California, despite billions of dollars in spending on programs meant to reduce it. Since 2018, California has spent more than $20 billion on projects like Project Homekey. In that same time, the unhoused population has grown by one third. Legislators want to see how much money is going to administrative costs as opposed to actual services for people in need. One study found that the 10 billion spent between 2018 and 2019, nearly 570,000 people were helped but very few actually were given a roof over their heads. KTLA's Andy Riesmeyer reports.
