In an executive order, Gov. Newsom directs state agencies to remove homeless encampments endangering life, health, and safety, aiming to help individuals and localities in the process.
The order emphasizes providing shelter and support services prior to encampment removal, highlighting a balanced approach to addressing the homelessness crisis in California.
State agencies are advised to give a 48-hour notice before clearing camps and to store personal belongings collected during the process for at least 60 days, showing consideration for the possessions of those affected.
Despite investing $24 billion to combat homelessness in recent years, the number of individuals without shelter has increased, driving the urgent need for decisive state action in addressing the issue.
