On the eve of the end of the state’s pandemic-spurred ban on evictions, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday, Sept. 29, signed a multi-billion-dollar package of bills aimed at what officials called a “historic” rebuilding of mental health services and housing in a larger push to ease the homeless crisis.

The legislation, which included four bills authored by a trio of Southern California state assemblymembers, will invest billions in building up an infrastructure of more than 44,000 new housing units and treatment beds for people exiting homelessness, officials said, including $5.8 billion to add more than 35,000 new housing units through the state’s Project Homekey program.
