Newsom Orders California Agencies to Clear Homeless Encampments

The directive follows a Supreme Court ruling allowing cities to remove encampments, sparking mixed reactions from local leaders and advocates.

Governor Newsom's executive order mandates state agencies to clear homeless encampments on state property.
The order provides guidelines for humane treatment, including a 48-hour notice and storage of belongings for 60 days.
Local leaders are divided; some support the move while others criticize it for lacking housing solutions.
Advocates argue the order criminalizes homelessness without addressing root causes or providing sufficient shelter.
The Supreme Court decision enables cities to enforce anti-camping laws, influencing Newsom's directive.
