The state is setting up its first agency dedicated only to housing and homelessness, with the goal of making it easier to manage funding and respond to the growing crisis.
A big change, some say overdue: Earlier this year, Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed breaking up the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency into two new agencies. One focused solely on housing and homelessness and one for everything else. Supporters say the move was necessary and backed by years of public concern.

Why did it take so long to take effect? The Legislature had until July 4 to let the plan take effect, despite some Republican pushback. Now the state begins building a new agency meant to simplify housing finance
