During a sit-down interview with ABC7 News reporter Leslie Brinkley on Jan. 10, Gov. Newsom said, "We're going to bring out quite literally FEMA trailers, trailers for emergencies, to temporarily house people but triage them through medical tents and medical units."
Governor Newsom has said the new state budget includes a $750 million fund to fight homelessness by helping with rent payments or providing funding for affordable housing.
