Supervisor Gonzales named to homeless action team

San Bernardino County Supervisors Josie Gonzales has been appointed to the California State Association of Counties’ Homeless Action Team.

That group, which was formed in August, will work with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Statewide Homeless and Supportive Housing Advisory Task Force and approach the state’s homeless problem from a county perspective, according to a  statement.

“My colleagues on the Homeless Action Team and I are equally vested in reducing homelessness in our respective counties, as well as statewide,” Gonzales said in the statement. “The governor’s support and the recent funding allocations to address homelessness makes all of this possible.” 

Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, who co-chairs Governor Newsom’s homeless task force, also chairs the county’s action team.
