  • The same poll found that 75% of voters support a legal right to shelter that would prioritize urgently bringing people indoors.
  • This legal obligation would compel California cities and counties to prioritize resources to get any homeless person who wants to be brought indoors a safe place to sleep with a roof overhead.
  • Funding for this initiative should be covered by redirecting untapped state resources coupled with a combined effort to engage private and nonprofit philanthropic investments.
