"Tiny Homes, Big Challenges: Unpacking the Delays in California's Homeless Shelter Plan"
In March 2023, Governor Gavin Newsom promised 1,200 tiny homes to shelter homeless residents in Sacramento, San Jose, Los Angeles, and San Diego County to address California’s homelessness crisis. Over a year later, none of these homes are operational, with only 150 purchased. Irontown Modular, one of the vendors, expressed frustration over the lack of orders, despite having prepared for them.
Delays stem from various issues, including state funding procedures and local governments’ difficulties in finding suitable sites for the homes. Although the state began construction at the Sacramento site and provided funds to the other regions, progress has been slow. Communications between the governor’s office and local governments remain opaque, complicating accountability.
Initially, the state planned to buy and deliver the homes but later shifted to giving cities cash grants to order the homes themselves, leading to budget shortfalls and increased costs for cities like San Jose. Finding appropriate sites has been another challenge, with some plans falling through and others still in preliminary stages.
Despite the state’s intentions to simplify the process by pre-approving vendors, no orders have been placed from these vendors outside the initial contracts. Vendors report that cities lack the necessary funds and that the state has not effectively promoted the initiative. Moreover, the state’s stringent approval processes for promotional materials have further delayed progress. Vendors, ready to supply the homes, remain frustrated by the bureaucratic obstacles hindering the project’s implementation.
