A month after the U.S. Supreme Court OK'ed a crackdown on homeless camps, Gov. Gavin Newsom is issuing a statewide call to action.

The Supreme Court case centers on the question of whether cities can fine or arrest people for camping in public spaces. The ruling will have nationwide implications for how local leaders manage homeless encampments.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that has implications for how much power California officials have over homeless camps.

The definition of "adequate shelter" is at the heart of debates raging across California in the five years since a federal appeals court ruled that it’s cruel and unusual punishment to evict homeless people from public spaces when they have no other options.

San Jose’s homelessness response team visited Houston earlier this year. They came away jealous of some advantages Houston has over California cities.

The mayor said the new temporary housing units for unhoused residents will be built “at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the construction time of building long-term permanent housing.”
