US EditionNewsom Unveils Model Ordinance to Ban Homeless Encampments in California
- On Monday, Governor Gavin Newsom introduced a sample ordinance for local governments across California to prohibit homeless encampments statewide.
- Newsom aimed to address rising encampments after a 2024 Supreme Court ruling allowed easier bans, while state audits showed $24 billion spent with unclear results.
- The ordinance forbids persistent camping and sidewalk blocking, requires notice and shelter offers before clearing, and comes with $3.3 billion in grants for mental health facilities.
- "No more excuses," Newsom said, urging local governments to use resources to "take back the streets," despite critics warning bans worsen homelessness cycles.
- While major cities have began enforcing encampment removals, advocates and officials stress that solving homelessness needs funding and long-term housing solutions.
