The missions would certainly need to stop being churches in order for it to be reasonable. One would not expect the state to pay to build or maintain any other church and as long as they are being used as such, it should be no different for the missions.
That said, there are several missions that are no longer churches and I see no reason why tax money should not go towards restoring them.

Not unless the missions have been deeded to the Calif. Park system. The Constitutional law of the land dictates that there be a separation of church and state. The Missions would have to be deactivated as religious institutions and deeded to the state. Under present conditions, tax payer money should not be spent.

Y; for various reasons.
1. The average citizen may actually need a mission's services someday. The truth is there are many variables into homelessness including but not limited to mental state, drugs, loss of job, felony(s), etc. Truth is many are one paycheck from the streets.
2. If the mission is any good (in Texas they vary) they can actually help a person gain a check and/ or gainfull employment and thwerefore move on to housing. Checks/ Employment means more money goes into the state as well as human rescources etc.
