California cities and counties are facing uncertainty over the costs of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s program to house homeless people in hotel rooms during the pandemic, as FEMA announced a limit of 20 days for reimbursement.
This decision could cost local governments at least $300 million, sparking concerns amid tight budgets.
The state officials have requested FEMA to reconsider, emphasizing the reliance on federal support.
FEMA stated that all states received the same guidance, while California argued that no prior notice was given about the policy change.
The situation has raised worries about future trust between local and federal governments during crises.
