Project Homekey Investigation
As California’s state leaders look to put forth a balanced budget later this week, every dollar spent to tackle issues becomes even more important. It is estimated that California has spent $24 billion addressing homelessness from 2019 to 2024, but have Californians felt the impact of those dollars? Additionally, for those experiencing homelessness, what does the data show about how these efforts have impacted their lives? CalMatters recently investigated how some of that money has been spent through Project Homekey. Homelessness Reporter Marisa Kendall is one half of the reporting duo that took on the question, “Did Project Homekey pay off?” She joined us today to explain what they discovered.
CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state.

Fire Meteorologist Julia Ruthford and Wildland Fire Specialist Kristen Allison from the U.S. Forest Service provide an update on current conditions, and projects about what might lie ahead. Also, CAL FIRE Battalion Chief David Acuña provides a look at how the state's fire agency is gearing up for another fire season.
