Newsom Vetoes Bill to Expand Sober Housing for Unhoused
Season 2025
Episode 475
Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed AB 255 for a second year, calling it unnecessary and duplicative. The bill would have let cities and counties spend up to 10% of state homelessness funds on recovery housing. He said guidance already allows it and any changes should go through the budget process. Analysts estimated first year costs at $4.12 million. Housing First remains the policy context.
