As a Native Californian, I have seen the increase of homelessness not only in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco but here in district 41. My opponent believes this is not a federal issue however I believe it is. 

​

Millions of dollars are being thrown at the problem just by creating housing is not the overall solution for various components of homelessness. Mental illness needs to be a priority which is much of the epidemic. I will work with medical experts in and out of the government. Our country’s mental health treatment system must be rebuilt from the ground up. 

​

We need a representative who cares about these issues. I care deeply about them. My opponent has done nothing about these problems.
