California housing officials on Thursday made $2.75 billion available for cities, counties and nonprofits to create new homeless housing — vastly expanding a program that already has provided more than 1,600 residential units in the Bay Area.

Thursday’s expansion more than triples the size of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Homekey program, which launched last year to purchase hotels, apartments and other buildings, and convert them into long-term housing for homeless residents. In 2020, the program doled out $846 million and created 6,029 units of housing throughout the state.
