California’s governor vetoed a bill to create state-certified recovery housing, citing cost and duplication, while critics say it would have helped expand sober housing.
California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed AB 255, a bill to create a state-certified sober recovery housing system, citing duplication and cost, stating existing guidance already allows local use of homelessness funds for such housing.
Assemblymember Matt Haney criticized the veto, saying unclear policies hinder recovery housing development, while advocates noted the bill’s amendments reduced state funding needs.
The legislation would have required certification with $4.12 million in first-year costs, partially offset by program fees.
Newsom supports recovery housing within Housing First but urged collaboration without new bureaucracy.
Meanwhile, the federal government under President Trump is ending Housing First funding for housing without treatment requirements, a shift Haney opposes.
