Federal Candidates
Steve Garvey
U.S. Senate
If you elect me as your Senator, I promise to start by getting a clear picture of where our homelessness funds are going. Let’s find out what’s working and what’s not by auditing the money that has been spent on this crisis so far. From there, we can build a plan that truly makes a difference.
It’s about effective solutions, not just throwing money at the problem.
