Gavin Newsom, right, talk with Freda Childs, left, who has been homeless off and on for the past 10 years, outside San Diego City Hall during the annual point-in-time homeless count. Some lawmakers and mayors expressed skepticism over California Gov. Gavin Newsom's proposal to give $750 million to state-selected regional administrators to address the state's growing homelessness crisis. Assembly budget chair Phil Ting said at a hearing Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020, that he needs more specifics about the governor's plan to create what Ting calls another layer of bureaucracy.

California lawmakers question governor’s homeless plan

FILE - In this April 15, 2019, file photo, Assemblyman Phil Ting speaks during a news conference in San Francisco. Ting, the chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee, told reporters on Monday, Dec. 9, 2019, that state lawmakers were preparing for a much smaller budget surplus next year because of the state's ongoing feud with the Trump administration. Nearly $2 billion of California's projected $7 billion surplus next year comes from a tax on the companies that manage the state's Medicaid program. California needs permission from the federal government to impose this tax. Ting said he did not think the Trump administration will approve the tax, noting they have tried to thwart many of the state's policy goals. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File)
