California's Tiny Home Initiative for Homeless Faces Major Delays

Gov. Newsom's promise of 1,200 tiny homes remains unfulfilled over a year later, with bureaucratic hurdles and funding issues stalling progress.

  • Only 150 of the promised 1,200 tiny homes have been purchased, with none yet occupied.
  • State and local government disputes over funding and site locations have caused significant delays.
  • Vendors report no orders despite state contracts, citing lack of funds and promotional support.
  • San Jose and Sacramento show some progress, but Los Angeles and San Diego lag behind.
  • Local governments struggle with finding suitable sites and securing necessary approvals.
