period of time. >> state auditors found california has spent $24 billion on homelessness in the past five years, but they can't tell how effective those funded programs have been. good evening. i'm julie julie haener and i'm mike mibach. >> the report released this morning says the crisis affecting hundreds of thousands of unhoused people is not improving. ktvu crystal bailey has been digging into the report and has more on the lack of organization on addressing this very big issue here. crystal. >> well, mike. julie, the audit assess the cost effectiveness and impact of homelessness programs at the state and local level and found that between 2018 and 2023, the number of unhoused people is going up and the outcomes are uncertain. even though billions was poured into housing programs, more than 180,000 californians experienced homelessness in 2023. that is a 53% increase from ten years ago. in 2020 2013, the state auditor's report says they're

not sure whether the homeless programs in place are working, even though they cost the state $24 billion. it all started when senator dave cortez visited one of the largest homeless encampments in san jose, asking the city whether the money spent on housing programs was working. when he found insufficient data, he and other state leaders penned a letter asking the state auditor to look into it. >> up until last year, midway through 2023, there there was no centralized portion of data around the flow of dollars from the state, you know, to local jurisdictions. >> the audit collected information from 2018 to 2023, reviewing two cities. one of them is san jose. >> so i think the report's clear on is we need an all of the above approach. we need low rungs on the ladder, basic, dignified shelter, as well as the long tum solution, which is building more affordable housing. we need a comprehensive

framework for data and performance measurement and the thorough report, auditors say the california interagency council on homelessness is responsible for coordinating and evaluating the efforts across the state. >> the audit says the council has not established a consistent method for gathering information on homelessness programs, cost and outcomes, a spokesperson from the council says in a statement, in part, that the audit's findings underscore a need to continue to hold local governments accountable who are primarily responsible for implementing these programs and collecting data on outcomes that the state can use to evaluate program effectiveness, and went on to say, the council continues to improve its ability to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent judiciously and effectively. >> this audit will establish some somewhat of a blueprint for legislative direction and guardrails going forward. you know, to improve upon, you know, some of these areas, these

deficiencies and these systemic issues that that the audit, calls out and the state auditor made a couple of key recommendations to mandate reporting suggesting that legislature require the council to annually collect and report outcome information beginning in september 2025. >> now also, senator cortez also says that auditors tell him there is no evidence of fraud. he doesn't think that the state should stop sending funding. he says there just needs to be more transparency so that the money can be allocated in a way that best makes the most impact. >> so how does the actual passing of proposition one here affect these programs? >> yeah, i mean, we're looking at more than $6 billion being added to mental health and beds and services here. but i did reach out to governor newsom's office and i did not hear a response. so there's really no telling how prop one could affect this. >> yeah, well, voters passed it. they have a right to know, like where the money is going. all right. crystal. thank you. crystal well, today's audit comes as the san jose city

council has approved banning homeless encampments and vehicles within 150ft of schools coming up tonight at 630. the reason that san jose city leaders hope some regulation around homeless encampments could help san francisco public library workers are demanding better security to protect staff and patrons after what they call a recent increase in dangerous incidents. >> reporter eric, those workers held a rally today right outside the main library on larkin street. they want the city to increase the number of security guards at all 28 branches. now, some branches do have security guards now, but at the ones that do not, librarians and other workers say they've been forced to intervene in dangerous situations that sometimes turn physical. san francisco library officials have not yet commented on the workers demands. the governor's office is touting the results of a chp special operation targeting crime in san francisco, according to the governor's office. >> chp officers seized more than 42 pounds of fentanyl in the

across jurisdictions and result in stiffer penalties and restraining orders against thieves. the legislation was welcomed by retailers. >> our employees are asking for it, californians are demanding it and retailers want to be able to just sell our products. we want to deter retail theft from even coming into our stores. >> people need to be safe. they need to feel safe and making sure that we're responsive to california is critical here. and this package, i think, gets the job done. >> there's no turning back the clock on the criminal justice reforms that have been enacted. >> there's a separate effort underway to repeal parts of prop 47, which in 2014 increased the threshold for grand theft from $450 to $950. assembly speaker robert rivas says the new package of bills does not affect prop 47. >> for us, it's understanding the root causes of this problem, which is complex, and for us, each one of these bills gets after those layers of complexity. >> shoppers at broadway plaza in

walnut creek say they welcome any crackdown on thieves. >> i think it's a great idea. if they can work across the aisle to achieve anything, you know, it doesn't happen very often these days. >> we got to do everything possible. i mean, i used to be part owner and retail chain with my brother in law, and there was theft there. and what people don't realize is that it comes back to the consumer here at broadway plaza, thieves have gone into the lululemon to steal things and then gone to other lululemon's across the bay area. >> the idea is to streamline any prosecution if these thieves are caught in walnut creek. henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> the former san jose police officer at the center of a racist tech scandal is asking a judge to grant his request for a change of venue. hundreds of miles away, mark mcnamara was sued after being accused of excessive use of force. he is the white police officer seen on video in march of 2022, shooting a black man who was actually trying to prevent a robbery at a restaurant, according to court documents. after that shooting, mcnamara sent racist and

you see that rotation, that big donut down there. that's the high. it stays with us right through. there's friday morning. it starts to break down friday. look at that low. see how it's backing away and coming away from the coast. so that's kind of it's kind of a cut off. and that's the problem with the forecast. so right now this is into saturday morning. so friday looks okay. there'll be some clouds and then saturday it comes in and then it looks like it clears out pretty quick on sunday. time is going to change on that. but that's just the basic idea i want you to see that because you'll see it mimicked in the five day forecast. and that low is the problem with that low is i'd love to, you know, just give it to you straight. but it's very different than a typical extratropical system that comes through attached to the jet stream. and you're able to time it and the models are able to grab on to it with the dynamics. but this thing, they start kind of wobbling around, almost like a pinball in a pinball game. this, this high isn't wobbling, it stays put. but this low up here, when it drops down on top of that high, it's going to

detach from the jet and just kind of float around. right now it looks like it's going to float into us on saturday, which would be a wet day for the most part. big rain. it shouldn't be, but shouldn't be just it will be wet probably on saturday. so right now friday looks good, saturday looks wet, sunday looks good. that's how you do it. and then if something changes, i'll let you know. tonight at 11 we'll have a new model update. we'll look at it again tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon to thursday morning, thursday afternoon. and then here comes friday. you see it kind of rotating and coming back away from the coast. it could actually miss us completely. and i know there's a lot of folks counting on a nice weekend because this is one of those first weekends in spring where people plan outdoor events. and so i we'll keep an eye on it. don't panic quite yet, but right now, saturday does look to be showers likely. and then sunday there might be a shower, but i think sunday looks pretty good. and then friday looks pretty good. i'll see you back here at 11. >> all right. we'll see you then, bill. thank you. well, for
