California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who made solving the state’s homelessness crisis a priority even before the coronavirus pandemic struck, announced Project Roomkey two weeks ago, a project in which the federal government will pay 75% of costs associated with housing some homeless. It covers people who test positive or may have been exposed to the virus, older homeless people and those with underlying health conditions. (AP Photo/Ben Margot, File)
