On the Issues: Public Safety

A Lasting Solution to Homelessness 

Despite billions in taxpayer dollars spent statewide, homelessness continues to worsen. We must demand better results.

Stockton’s unhoused neighbors need access to critical services, but lasting progress begins with expanded treatment options and truly affordable housing.

 I will partner with nonprofit organizations that serve people experiencing homelessness, while insisting on transparency, measurable outcomes, and real accountability for every city dollar invested. 

 As a health care provider, I have seen the impacts of homelessness up close. I will advance a treatment-led recovery approach that confronts mental illness and substance use disorder as key drivers of homelessness—because compassion without results is not enough, and recovery must be part of the solution.
