Gov. Gavin Newsom emphasized that, "No community should turn its back on its residents in need," in reaction to Norwalk's moratorium on new homeless shelters.
Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta stated that Norwalk's actions are "brazenly and defiantly violative of the law" and criticized the city's comparison of homeless shelters to public nuisances.
The lawsuit claims that Norwalk's ordinance is illegal under several housing laws and demonstrates a clear case of discrimination against homeless individuals.
City leaders argue that Norwalk already does more than its share for homeless support, highlighting the city's assistance through its social services department.
