California’s pouring over $100 million into new permanent supportive housing—278 units across Bakersfield, Contra Costa, Fresno, and Sacramento—with more than 100 specifically for veterans. Part of the Homekey+ program, funded by Proposition 1, this initiative pairs housing with critical behavioral health services to help homeless individuals, especially those with mental health or substance use challenges, achieve lasting stability. Already, Homekey+ has invested nearly $1 billion statewide, creating over 2,700 homes—with more than 700 for veterans—marking a bold, compassionate push to end homelessness through integrated care and long-term solutions.

Santa Monica Ends SaMoShel Shelter | Venice Beach News

Santa Monica is poised to shut down SaMoShel, its decades-old homeless shelter, replacing it with a new, targeted housing system designed to end congregate living. With a July 28th vote looming, the city plans to shift toward stabilization, interim, and permanent housing with support services — all under city control. The Palm Motel and Bell Shelter will play key roles, while the city seeks additional non-congregate sites to absorb SaMoShel’s 60 beds. This move comes amid broader cuts and restructuring across Los Angeles County, forcing Santa Monica to adapt or risk falling behind in its mission to help unhoused residents and address community concerns.

California’s Forests in Crisis | Venice Beach News

California’s forests are vanishing faster than we can replant them, with millions of acres lost and half the state’s forests projected to vanish by 2071. This isn’t just about trees—it’s a crisis threatening water, air, and wildlife. A frozen seed bank offers little hope against decades of underfunding and staffing cuts at state and federal levels. Climate change and past fire suppression policies have turned forests into scrubland, and experts warn reforestation must be treated as an emergency. While some federal funding efforts are emerging, the scale of the problem is staggering, with the West facing a similar fate. Current strategies lack dedicated funding and need a massive, sustained push to save these vital ecosystems. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
