Californias mayors are asking for more funds from the state to fight homelessness and it appears Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is on board.

After a meeting Wednesday on housing and homelessness with about a dozen mayors from across the Golden state, Newsom told reporters the budget just changed, according to NBC.

In the budget Newsom proposed in January, the governor had set aside $500 million to spend on regional and local homelessness programs the same amount former Gov. Jerry Brown had dedicated to the issue in 2018. Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg leads the 13-member Big City Mayors group thats asking for more funds, including Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco and more. His office couldnt confirm to HuffPost how much more the mayors were asking for.

We havent been doing enough to support cities, Newsom said at a press conference after the meeting. The budget just changed. This was an important meeting. I did not just listen, I took notes, and Im taking direction. And its not just about more money, its about reprioritizing some of those investments.

It is still unclear exactly how the governor plans to adjust the budget, the Los Angeles Times reported. Newsom is expected to provide a revised budget proposal in May to be agreed upon with the state legislature by mid-June.

HuffPost reached out to the governors office but did not immediately receive a response.

Amid the nations affordable housing crisis , California has been one of the states with the worst rates of homelessness. On a single day in January 2018, more than 500,000 people were homeless nationwide, according to a recent report from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and almost a quarter of homeless people in the U.S. lived in California alone.
