Gavin Newsom said Tuesday. > The state has secured 15,679 rooms as part of its Project Roomkey initiative, surpassing the 15,000 goal originally set by the governor. Those rooms are set aside for unhoused residents who either test positive for COVID-19, are experiencing symptoms of the virus, or may be more susceptible to the virus because of their age or underlying medical conditions.
