California governor Gavin Newsom will direct state officials to remove homeless encampments across the Golden State after the Supreme Court ruled in June that local governments have a right to ban public camping and impose fines for violators.
Newsom is expected to announce the guidance in an executive order, advising cities to crack down on encampments on public property while providing social services and housing alternatives. The order, first reported by the New York Times, represents a sharp departure from the accommodative homelessness policies adopted by progressive state governments over the last decade.
Until the Supreme Court’s decision, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit restricted the ability of local government to ban public camping when cities did not have enough beds in homeless shelters. California continues to battle an increasing homelessness problem as 180,000 people were estimated to be homeless last year.
