Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : Critics have said anti-camping ordinances do nothing to address the root causes of homelessness, like tackling California's persistent housing shortage, while burdening homeless people with legal charges.
55% : Prop. 1 is part of Newsom's broader effort to overhaul California's mental health care system.
49% : Counties have said they need more treatment beds to meet the requirements of those laws -- needs that Prop. 1 funding is expected to help address on top of the $27 billion the state already gave to local governments in October to help prevent and end homelessness.
