California governor orders removal of homeless encampment | ANC

Published 2024-07-26
On The Scene: California Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday (July 25) said the state would begin removing homeless encampments after a recent Supreme Court decision upheld anti-camping laws used to ticket and fine people living on the streets. California had 180,000 homeless people in 2023, more than any other state, and the majority slept outdoors, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Newsom's action followed a Supreme Court decision on June 28 reversing a ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that found punishing people for sleeping outdoors when no shelter beds are available was unconstitutional. Newsom's administration said it moved 165,000 homeless people into temporary or permanent housing in fiscal year 2022-2023.
