'Shameful': Gov. Newsom decries Elk Grove's opposition to homeless housing, announces legal settlement

Elk Grove's decision to block these efforts - wasting valuable time and resources - is especially shameful. We expect Elk Grove to follow the law.

The city was accused of unlawfully denying a 67-unit homeless housing development while allowing a similar market-rate project in the same neighborhood.

This case shows the importance of adhering to housing laws and ensuring that low-income housing is integrated into all communities.

We can't solve California's homelessness crisis without creating new housing and supportive services. Elk Grove is not immune to this challenge.
