California could ask voters to spend $600 million on veteran housing

“There are an estimated 11,000 homeless veterans in California and even more experiencing housing insecurity or struggling to make ends meet and transition,” Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, said on behalf of the bill’s author Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks. “AB 411 will assist veterans who are homeless or who need affordable rental housing to secure housing and services for themselves and their families.”
