Henry Mauriss Calls for Local Accountability in California's Homelessness Crisis
Following a state audit revealing that California spent $24 billion over five years on homelessness programs without consistently tracking outcomes, Henry Mauriss, CEO of ClearTV Media and founder of Joshua's Collective, is advocating for a shift towards local, accountable solutions.
'The audit confirms what many have observed: significant funds have been allocated with minimal oversight,' Mauriss stated. 'It's imperative that we focus on transparent, community-based initiatives that deliver measurable results.'
Audit Highlights Need for Change
The California State Auditor's report found that despite substantial investments, the state lacked reliable data to assess the effectiveness of its homelessness programs. Only two out of five major programs were deemed likely cost-effective, while the rest could not be properly evaluated due to insufficient data.
'Without clear metrics, it's challenging to determine what's working and what's not,' Mauriss emphasized. 'We need to ensure that every dollar spent contributes to tangible improvements.'
Community Engagement as a Solution
Mauriss advocates for empowering local organizations that have a direct impact on their communities. Through Joshua's Collective, he supports programs that provide essential services such as triage, meals, clothing, job training, and mental health support.
'Local groups are often more agile and in tune with the specific needs of their communities,' Mauriss noted. 'By supporting these organizations, we can foster solutions that are both effective and sustainable.'
Call to Action
Mauriss encourages individuals to take proactive steps:
Support Local Initiatives: Contribute to community organizations addressing homelessness.
Volunteer: Offer time or skills to local shelters and support programs.
Advocate for Transparency: Urge local and state officials to implement clear tracking of homelessness program outcomes.
'Addressing homelessness requires collective effort,' Mauriss concluded. 'By engaging at the community level and demanding accountability, we can drive meaningful change.'

AITX Surges 57% in Revenue and 80% in Gross Profit for Q1 FY 2026 vs Q1 FY 2025, Closes in on Profitability
Strong Start to FY 2026 with Record Gross Profit and Accelerated High-Value Deployments Detroit, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2025) - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (OTCID: AITX) (the "Company"), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 (Q1 FY 2026), as reported in its 10-Q filing for the period ended May 31, 2025. The results reflect continued strong revenue and gross profit growth, driven by increasing deployments of higher-value units and a growing base of recurring revenue. The Company also reaffirmed its expectation to report net profitability in Q2 FY 2026 and achieve operational positive cash flow near the end of its fiscal third quarter (Sept/Oct/Nov). To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Financial Highlights Revenue Growth: For the three months ended May 31, 2025, AITX reported revenues of $1,854,837, representing a 57% increase compared to $1,182,800 in the prior year period. Rental Revenue Growth: Revenue from rental activities increased 66% year over year to $1,627,286, driven by continued deployment of higher-value units. Goods and Services Revenue: Revenue from goods and services totaled $227,551 for the quarter, an increase of 11% compared to $202,264 in the same period of the prior year. Gross Profit Growth: Gross profit reached $1,233,501 for the quarter, an increase of 80% compared to $685,334 in the same period of the prior year. Unit Deployments: 76 new devices were deployed during the quarter. While this figure is lower than the prior year's comparable period, deployments in Q1 FY 2026 consisted of higher-value units contributing to the increased rental revenue. Debt Settlement Agreement: The Company negotiated a favorable settlement to eliminate $4.79 million in debt, with a $4.37 million gain expected to be recorded in Q2 FY 2026. This is anticipated to support reporting net profitability for Q2 FY 2026. Operational and Strategic Updates The Company's 66% year-over-year quarter growth in rental revenue was driven by continued deployments of higher-value devices, led by the RIO™ 360 solar-powered security tower. A total of 76 new units were deployed during the quarter, reflecting a strategic shift toward higher per-unit revenue compared to the prior year period. During the quarter, the Company finalized a settlement agreement with a lender to eliminate approximately $4.79 million in debt. The settlement, requiring a total payment of $420,000, of which $200,000 has been paid, is expected to be completed in Q2 FY 2026, ending August 31, 2025. Upon completion, the Company expects to recognize a gain on debt settlement of approximately $4.37 million. This gain will be reflected in the upcoming quarter's financial results and is expected to contribute to reporting net profitability for Q2 FY 2026. The Company reaffirmed its expectation of achieving operational positive cash flow in or shortly after Q3 FY 2026, with Q3 being the period from September through November 2025. This milestone is anticipated as recurring monthly revenue continues to grow and operational efficiencies are realized. "I'm pleased that we are consistently producing improved results. Furthermore, we are making progress reducing debt, and its related interest expense, with more debt reductions beyond the $4.79 million debt we expect to be settled in this current quarter. These are important steps on the way to total profitability. It's thrilling that this current quarter we expect to show an overall net profit but we're laser focused on increased sales so we can achieve the milestone of operational positive cash flow," said Steve Reinharz, CEO, CTO and founder of AITX. "We remain excited for the expected revenue gains from ROAMEO ™ deployments throughout the rest of the year as well." Outlook The Company anticipates continued expansion across its core markets, including healthcare, education, logistics, and critical infrastructure. Management believes that growing demand for its AI-driven autonomous solutions, combined with the favorable debt settlement completed in Q2, positions AITX to enter calendar year 2026 with strong financial momentum, operational stability, and a clear path to consistent positive cash flow.
