"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 2:50 p.m. Friday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday signed a package of bills \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11982393/california-assembly-bills-seek-to-curb-retail-theft-maintain-proposition-47\">aimed at cracking down on shoplifting and organized retail theft\u003c/a>, while taking aim at a tough-on-crime measure on the November ballot that the governor said is unfairly punitive in pursuing the same goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom called organized retail theft and serial theft “the issue that is front and center in the consciousness of so many Californians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You see it online, social media, you see it on the nightly news,” Newsom said. “This goes to the heart of the issue and it does it in a thoughtful and judicious way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom argued the bills are a measured approach that will make it easier for police to arrest shoplifters and disrupt larger retail crime rings. But it’s unclear whether the governor’s action will deter voters from going further and passing Proposition 36, which would increase sentences for theft and drug crimes by rolling back pieces of Proposition 47, a criminal justice reform measure passed by voters a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom launched the opening salvo in the campaign, arguing that Proposition 36 “takes us back to the 1980s, the war on drugs, mass incarceration. It promotes a promise that can’t be delivered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those that support Prop 36, they’ll be accountable for it. I wouldn’t want to be on their side of this,” Newsom added. “It’s such a devastating setback in this state; the impact on poor folks, the impact on Black and brown communities, it’s next level — and it doesn’t address what they’re saying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom signed 10 bills inside a Home Depot in San José, where he criticized the city’s mayor, Matt Mahan, who has emerged as a leading supporter of Proposition 36.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 has gained recent momentum, with a new poll from UC Berkeley’s Institute for Governmental Studies showing that 56% of likely voters support the measure. The proposal, which Republicans and district attorneys have long backed, also drew support from Democratic mayors like Mahan and London Breed in San Francisco. This week, nearly a dozen Democrats in the Legislature threw their support behind the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12000577\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12000577\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240409-MAHAN-HOMELESS-JG-01_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240409-MAHAN-HOMELESS-JG-01_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240409-MAHAN-HOMELESS-JG-01_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240409-MAHAN-HOMELESS-JG-01_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240409-MAHAN-HOMELESS-JG-01_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240409-MAHAN-HOMELESS-JG-01_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240409-MAHAN-HOMELESS-JG-01_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San José Mayor Matt Mahan speaking outside City Hall on April 9, 2024.

It was ultimately imperiled, however, by a lawsuit challenging a \u003ca href=\"https://baha.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=baha_c8c913d24620c401da177ea1291f3cb6.pdf&view=1\">“mathematical error”\u003c/a> in the cost of repaying the bond, as well as by a desire to focus advocacy efforts on a related statewide proposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area Housing Finance Authority, which introduced the measure, voted unanimously Wednesday to remove it from ballots in all nine counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for the regional measure said they were “heartbroken” by the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a really difficult day for the campaign side,” said Heather Hood, a vice president at the affordable housing builder Enterprise Community Partners. She teared up while recommending the authority pull the measure. “I really, deeply regret this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authority officials estimated the measure would have raised property taxes by around \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2024-07/7c_Resolution_0034_Attachment_B_Tax_Rate_Statement.pdf\">$19 on average\u003c/a> for every $100,000 of assessed home value, generating roughly $670 million a year. However, in a \u003ca href=\"https://newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com/mission/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/BAHFA-Suit-Khamis-v.-Moreles-Petition-for-Writ-Mandate-Aug-7-2024.pdf\">lawsuit\u003c/a> filed on Aug. 8, a group of residents contested that assertion, saying the total cost of the bond — nearly $48.3 billion, spread out over roughly 50 years — would have actually generated nearly $911 million annually, costing taxpayers more money than the authority had stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And most of that money would have gone towards financing costs,” said Jason Bezis, an attorney for the plaintiffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The authority \u003ca href=\"https://baha.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=baha_c8c913d24620c401da177ea1291f3cb6.pdf&view=1\">amended the measure\u003c/a>, and advocates said they were confident in defending against other allegations in the complaint that challenged the wording of its 75-word ballot question. Both sides were due to appear in court for a hearing on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The larger issue for advocates, however, was polling results that revealed a narrow path to victory for the regional measure, which depended largely on a separate statewide proposition passing to buoy the bond’s chance of success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, infrastructure and housing bonds require a two-thirds supermajority to pass. \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_5,_Lower_Supermajority_Requirement_to_55%25_for_Local_Bond_Measures_to_Fund_Housing_and_Public_Infrastructure_Amendment_(2024)\">Proposition 5\u003c/a>, which is still slated to appear before voters in November, proposes to amend the California Constitution by lowering the voting threshold for infrastructure and housing bonds from a two-thirds supermajority to 55%. If voters approve Prop 5, the regional bond would have been subject to the lower threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The yes vote, including ‘lean yes,’ was 52/54 percent (depending on wording) and 50 percent, respectively,” the staff report reads. “Given voter attitudes, it has been clear for several years that the Bay Area affordable housing bond’s viability is inextricably linked to passage of an amendment to the state’s constitution to adjust the vote threshold.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Housing Coverage' tag='housing']A \u003ca href=\"https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/proposition-5-lawsuit.pdf\">separate lawsuit\u003c/a>, filed this month by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, had challenged the label that will appear on the ballot for the statewide proposition because it does not specify that the threshold would be reduced. The ballot label — a condensed version of the ballot title and summary — states instead that the proposition “[a]llows approval of local infrastructure and housing bonds for low- and middle-income Californians with 55% vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the association lost on appeal. Laura Dougherty, director of legal affairs for the association, said the label will remain as is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unfortunate for the voters,” Dougherty said, adding that if the proposition passes, “It allows an increase in property taxes that is not consistent with the spirit of Proposition 13 and is not consistent with the protection that we’ve had since 1879, which is to make sure that bonds require two-thirds voter approval.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the meeting on Wednesday, many supporters of Regional Measure 4 vowed to turn their attention to Proposition 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to focus all of our efforts there to getting [Proposition 5] passed,” said Amie Fishman, executive director of the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California. “We knew that doing them both together would be hard.

However, in a \u003ca href=\"https://newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com/mission/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/BAHFA-Suit-Khamis-v.-Moreles-Petition-for-Writ-Mandate-Aug-7-2024.pdf\">lawsuit\u003c/a> filed on Aug. 8, a group of residents contested that assertion, saying the total cost of the bond — nearly $48.3 billion, spread out over roughly 50 years — would have actually generated nearly $911 million annually, costing taxpayers more money than the authority had stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And most of that money would have gone towards financing costs,” said Jason Bezis, an attorney for the plaintiffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The authority \u003ca href=\"https://baha.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=baha_c8c913d24620c401da177ea1291f3cb6.pdf&view=1\">amended the measure\u003c/a>, and advocates said they were confident in defending against other allegations in the complaint that challenged the wording of its 75-word ballot question. Both sides were due to appear in court for a hearing on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The larger issue for advocates, however, was polling results that revealed a narrow path to victory for the regional measure, which depended largely on a separate statewide proposition passing to buoy the bond’s chance of success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, infrastructure and housing bonds require a two-thirds supermajority to pass. \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_5,_Lower_Supermajority_Requirement_to_55%25_for_Local_Bond_Measures_to_Fund_Housing_and_Public_Infrastructure_Amendment_(2024)\">Proposition 5\u003c/a>, which is still slated to appear before voters in November, proposes to amend the California Constitution by lowering the voting threshold for infrastructure and housing bonds from a two-thirds supermajority to 55%. If voters approve Prop 5, the regional bond would have been subject to the lower threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The yes vote, including ‘lean yes,’ was 52/54 percent (depending on wording) and 50 percent, respectively,” the staff report reads. “Given voter attitudes, it has been clear for several years that the Bay Area affordable housing bond’s viability is inextricably linked to passage of an amendment to the state’s constitution to adjust the vote threshold.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom’s message on homelessness in recent weeks has been clear: The state will no longer tolerate encampments, and cities shouldn’t either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians who live on the streets, as well as the outreach workers who support them, say they’re already feeling the difference. Places, where someone used to be able to pitch a tent and sleep in peace, have suddenly become inhospitable. Police seem to be clearing camps more often and more aggressively and are less likely to give advance notice before they come in with bulldozers and trash compactors, according to anecdotal reports in some cities. Even in cities where officials said publicly nothing would change, unhoused people and activists say it’s become harder to live without a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the shift, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11997352/newsom-orders-state-agencies-to-dismantle-homeless-encampments-across-california\">sparked by a Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> and then further fueled by an executive order, hasn’t caused a significant increase in shelter beds or affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s led people on the streets to ask: Where are we supposed to go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We gotta be somewhere,” said Tré Watson, who lives in a tent in Santa Cruz and said unhoused people are running out of places to go. “We can’t hover. We come here; they run us away. We go to any park and they run us away. We go to the Pogonip (nature preserve), and they bring bulldozers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999893\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1916px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999893\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1916\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson.png 1916w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson-800x534.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson-1536x1025.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1916px) 100vw, 1916px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tré Watson stands outside the Housing Matters shelter in Santa Cruz on Aug. 7. \u003ccite>(Manuel Orbegozo/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Californians experiencing homelessness and activists from San Diego to Sacramento told CalMatters that enforcement has become more frequent and more aggressive. Some city leaders have made their intentions to ramp up enforcement explicitly clear. The Fresno City Council recently passed an ordinance, which, if it gets final approval later this month, will make it illegal to camp on public property at all times. San Francisco Mayor London Breed said the city will launch a “very aggressive” crackdown, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/mayor-breed-says-aggressive-sweep-of-sf-19582134.php\">according to the\u003cem> San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others have said they won’t \u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">change their encampment strategies. the \u003cem>Los Angeles\u003c/em> \u003cem>Times\u003c/em> reported that the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors last month reaffirmed that the county won’t use its jails to hold unhoused people arrested for camping. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has also \u003c/span>been critical of criminalizing public camping.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Newsom pushes for a crackdown on encampments\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Homelessness has been a defining obstacle of Newsom’s career ever since he was mayor of San Francisco in the early 2000s. And it’s only become more pressing — California’s estimated unhoused population has swelled to more than 181,000, at the same time, Newsom is widely rumored to have \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/07/gavin-newsom-biden-democrats/\">presidential ambitions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this summer, the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2024/06/california-homeless-camps-grants-pass-ruling/\">handed cities a new cudgel\u003c/a> to crack down on the encampments that proliferate across California’s parks, sidewalks and open spaces. Per the Grants Pass v. Johnson ruling, law enforcement can now cite or arrest people for sleeping on public property — even if there are no shelter beds available to them. That’s a major change from prior legal precedent, which said it was unconstitutional to punish someone for sleeping outside if they had nowhere else to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999895\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1914px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999895\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1914\" height=\"1276\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk.png 1914w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1914px) 100vw, 1914px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roberta Titus, 67, sits outside a juice shop on Front Street in Santa Cruz on Aug. 7. \u003ccite>(Manuel Orbegozo/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A month later, Newsom responded with an executive order directing state agencies to ramp up enforcement against encampments and encouraging cities to do the same. The order didn’t technically require cities to act, but last week, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999607/newsom-vows-to-take-away-funding-from-cities-and-counties-for-not-clearing-encampments\">Newsom made it clear there will be consequences\u003c/a> for cities that don’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If he doesn’t see results in the next few months, and if he doesn’t feel local leaders are acting with a “sense of urgency,” he’ll start redirecting their funding, Newsom said during a news conference outside a homeless encampment in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re done with the excuses,” he said. “And the last big excuse was, ‘Well, the courts are saying we can’t do anything.’ Well, that’s no longer the case. So we had a simple executive order: Do your job. There’s no more excuses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state agencies that will be most immediately affected by Newsom’s order — Caltrans, California State Parks and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife — did not answer questions requesting details about how the executive order will change how they clear encampments on their property, nor did they provide data on their prior abatement efforts. State Parks referred questions to the governor’s office, which did not respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What it’s like for unhoused Californians\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In Santa Cruz, enforcement has become particularly “brutal” in recent weeks, said Keith McHenry, an activist who hands out food and other supplies to homeless communities through his organization Food Not Bombs. Though, as in many cities, it’s hard to tell how much of the change is a direct result of the Supreme Court decision and executive order. The tide was already shifting toward enforcement before the justices ruled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, Santa Cruz pushed between 30 and 40 people out of a major encampment in a community park, according to the city. Many of the people displaced from the park then set up tents on Coral Street, outside the local homeless shelter, McHenry said. The city cleared that camp in June. After those sweeps, some people relocated to the Pogonip nature preserve at the edge of the city. Late last month, the city swept the nature preserve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city said just five people were removed from the Pogonip in that sweep, but McHenry suspects it was more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city said its strategy for dealing with homeless camps hasn’t changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The City’s current practices have proven effective and are already consistent with Governor Newsom’s suggested encampment-related policies for local governments contained in his recent executive order,” city spokesperson Erika Smart said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999897\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1912px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999897\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1912\" height=\"1272\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq.png 1912w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq-800x532.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq-1020x679.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq-160x106.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq-1536x1022.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1912px) 100vw, 1912px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spraq, 46, stays with his dogs and a partner in a small camp outside the Housing Matter shelter in Santa Cruz. \u003ccite>(Manuel Orbegozo/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On a recent Wednesday morning, a man who goes by the nickname Spraq was packing his belongings onto a bike trailer, preparing for the sweep he thought might come later that day on Coral Street. Spraq, who ended up on the streets after the truck he was living in got repossessed about 10 years ago, was camping in the park until police kicked everyone out. He and his ex-girlfriend moved to a nearby street, and two days later, police found them, threw away his ex’s clothes and other possessions, and forced them to move on, Spraq said. So they moved into a parking spot on the street outside Costco – a place where they’d camped without issue many times before, he said. Again, police found them, said they couldn’t be there, and threw away their belongings, Spraq said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They kept doing that until we had nothing,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999900\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1912px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999900\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1912\" height=\"1276\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz.png 1912w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz-800x534.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz-1020x681.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz-1536x1025.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1912px) 100vw, 1912px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A group of unhoused people camp outside the Housing Matters shelter in Santa Cruz on Aug. 7. \u003ccite>(Manuel Orbegozo/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Combined, McHenry said the recent sweeps mark the biggest push to dismantle encampments that he’s seen in Santa Cruz in years. Before, he said, people would relocate after a sweep and the city would generally leave them alone for a while. This time, police have been coming back regularly to spots like Coral Street to make sure people don’t return, he said. The city recently erected a chain-link fence and orange plastic barricades along the sidewalk to deter campers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s just a full-court press to keep people from being settled anywhere,” McHenry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Cities respond to Newsom’s push for a crackdown\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Enforcement seems to be ramping up along the bank of the San Diego River, where about 300 people live in tents and make-shift shacks — many of whom ended up there after police kicked them out of other camps closer to town, said Kendall Burdett, an outreach worker with the nonprofit PATH. Lately, the authorities have been clearing camps along the river multiple times per week, Burdett said. Before Newsom’s executive order, sweeps happened closer to a few times a month, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The riverbank includes land controlled by Caltrans and by the city, and it’s not always clear who is sweeping camps, Burdett said. But he said he’s noticing the authorities are less likely to give advance notice before sweeping, leaving him and his co-workers scrambling to help their clients. That’s making it harder to get people into housing, Burdett said. People often lose their identifying documents in sweeps — which they need to get into subsidized housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That sets the whole thing back,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other times, Burdett can’t find clients after they’re swept. As a result, sometimes clients end up losing their housing placements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego already had been ramping up enforcement, passing an \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/04/homeless-encampment-ban/\">ordinance banning encampments\u003c/a> in certain areas last year. But the city said recent developments have changed nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There has been no change or move to increase abatements after the Supreme Court decision or following Newsom’s executive order,” city spokesperson Matt Hoffman said. “It’s just business as usual as of now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='homelessness']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, where Mayor Breed promised an aggressive crackdown following the court ruling, the city removed 82 tents and five other structures from the streets the week of July 29 through Aug. 2. Abatement teams engaged with 326 people during those operations — 38 of whom accepted a shelter bed — and arrested or cited nine people, according to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other cities are passing or considering new, more punitive rules as a result of Newsom’s executive order. In Fresno, the City Council granted preliminary approval last month to an ordinance that would ban camping on public property at all times, the Fresno Bee \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article290535239.html\">reported\u003c/a>. Fresno County approved a similar measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/kevinjlincoln/status/1816551503617736817/photo/2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said on social media site X that\u003c/a> the city must “move urgently” to ensure public safety while also supporting those in need. He made plans for a public study session later this month to discuss how the city will enforce anti-camping ordinances going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sacramento, the city distributes fliers to educate its unhoused residents about the changes under the Supreme Court ruling. The light-blue notices, titled “Attention: Unlawful Camping,” warn that people can be charged with a misdemeanor for camping on public property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re forcing someone under threat of arrest to pack up and move all their belongings,” said Niki Jones, executive director of the Sacramento Regional Coalition to End Homelessness. “And people’s bodies literally can’t handle the physical stress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Where do we go?’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Newsom has provided an influx of money for shelter beds and other services in recent years — including $1 billion in this year’s budget for Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention funds that cities and counties can spend as they see fit — his recent executive order comes with no additional funding. Last year, California cities and counties reported having roughly 71,000 shelter beds.

Gavin Newsom’s message on homelessness in recent weeks has been clear: The state will no longer tolerate encampments, and cities shouldn’t either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians who live on the streets, as well as the outreach workers who support them, say they’re already feeling the difference. Places, where someone used to be able to pitch a tent and sleep in peace, have suddenly become inhospitable. Police seem to be clearing camps more often and more aggressively and are less likely to give advance notice before they come in with bulldozers and trash compactors, according to anecdotal reports in some cities. Even in cities where officials said publicly nothing would change, unhoused people and activists say it’s become harder to live without a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the shift, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11997352/newsom-orders-state-agencies-to-dismantle-homeless-encampments-across-california\">sparked by a Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> and then further fueled by an executive order, hasn’t caused a significant increase in shelter beds or affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s led people on the streets to ask: Where are we supposed to go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We gotta be somewhere,” said Tré Watson, who lives in a tent in Santa Cruz and said unhoused people are running out of places to go. “We can’t hover. We come here; they run us away. We go to any park and they run us away. We go to the Pogonip (nature preserve), and they bring bulldozers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999893\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1916px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999893\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1916\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson.png 1916w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson-800x534.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/TreWatson-1536x1025.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1916px) 100vw, 1916px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tré Watson stands outside the Housing Matters shelter in Santa Cruz on Aug. 7. \u003ccite>(Manuel Orbegozo/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Californians experiencing homelessness and activists from San Diego to Sacramento told CalMatters that enforcement has become more frequent and more aggressive.

And it’s only become more pressing — California’s estimated unhoused population has swelled to more than 181,000, at the same time, Newsom is widely rumored to have \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/07/gavin-newsom-biden-democrats/\">presidential ambitions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this summer, the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2024/06/california-homeless-camps-grants-pass-ruling/\">handed cities a new cudgel\u003c/a> to crack down on the encampments that proliferate across California’s parks, sidewalks and open spaces. Per the Grants Pass v. Johnson ruling, law enforcement can now cite or arrest people for sleeping on public property — even if there are no shelter beds available to them. That’s a major change from prior legal precedent, which said it was unconstitutional to punish someone for sleeping outside if they had nowhere else to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999895\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1914px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999895\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1914\" height=\"1276\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk.png 1914w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Sidewalk-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1914px) 100vw, 1914px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roberta Titus, 67, sits outside a juice shop on Front Street in Santa Cruz on Aug. 7. \u003ccite>(Manuel Orbegozo/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A month later, Newsom responded with an executive order directing state agencies to ramp up enforcement against encampments and encouraging cities to do the same. The order didn’t technically require cities to act, but last week, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999607/newsom-vows-to-take-away-funding-from-cities-and-counties-for-not-clearing-encampments\">Newsom made it clear there will be consequences\u003c/a> for cities that don’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If he doesn’t see results in the next few months, and if he doesn’t feel local leaders are acting with a “sense of urgency,” he’ll start redirecting their funding, Newsom said during a news conference outside a homeless encampment in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re done with the excuses,” he said. “And the last big excuse was, ‘Well, the courts are saying we can’t do anything.’ Well, that’s no longer the case. So we had a simple executive order: Do your job. There’s no more excuses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state agencies that will be most immediately affected by Newsom’s order — Caltrans, California State Parks and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife — did not answer questions requesting details about how the executive order will change how they clear encampments on their property, nor did they provide data on their prior abatement efforts. State Parks referred questions to the governor’s office, which did not respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What it’s like for unhoused Californians\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In Santa Cruz, enforcement has become particularly “brutal” in recent weeks, said Keith McHenry, an activist who hands out food and other supplies to homeless communities through his organization Food Not Bombs. Though, as in many cities, it’s hard to tell how much of the change is a direct result of the Supreme Court decision and executive order. The tide was already shifting toward enforcement before the justices ruled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, Santa Cruz pushed between 30 and 40 people out of a major encampment in a community park, according to the city. Many of the people displaced from the park then set up tents on Coral Street, outside the local homeless shelter, McHenry said. The city cleared that camp in June. After those sweeps, some people relocated to the Pogonip nature preserve at the edge of the city. Late last month, the city swept the nature preserve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city said just five people were removed from the Pogonip in that sweep, but McHenry suspects it was more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city said its strategy for dealing with homeless camps hasn’t changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The City’s current practices have proven effective and are already consistent with Governor Newsom’s suggested encampment-related policies for local governments contained in his recent executive order,” city spokesperson Erika Smart said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999897\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1912px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999897\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1912\" height=\"1272\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq.png 1912w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq-800x532.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq-1020x679.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq-160x106.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Spraq-1536x1022.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1912px) 100vw, 1912px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spraq, 46, stays with his dogs and a partner in a small camp outside the Housing Matter shelter in Santa Cruz. \u003ccite>(Manuel Orbegozo/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On a recent Wednesday morning, a man who goes by the nickname Spraq was packing his belongings onto a bike trailer, preparing for the sweep he thought might come later that day on Coral Street. Spraq, who ended up on the streets after the truck he was living in got repossessed about 10 years ago, was camping in the park until police kicked everyone out. He and his ex-girlfriend moved to a nearby street, and two days later, police found them, threw away his ex’s clothes and other possessions, and forced them to move on, Spraq said. So they moved into a parking spot on the street outside Costco – a place where they’d camped without issue many times before, he said. Again, police found them, said they couldn’t be there, and threw away their belongings, Spraq said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They kept doing that until we had nothing,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999900\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1912px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999900\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1912\" height=\"1276\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz.png 1912w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz-800x534.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz-1020x681.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/EncampmentSantaCruz-1536x1025.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1912px) 100vw, 1912px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A group of unhoused people camp outside the Housing Matters shelter in Santa Cruz on Aug. 7. \u003ccite>(Manuel Orbegozo/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Combined, McHenry said the recent sweeps mark the biggest push to dismantle encampments that he’s seen in Santa Cruz in years. Before, he said, people would relocate after a sweep and the city would generally leave them alone for a while. This time, police have been coming back regularly to spots like Coral Street to make sure people don’t return, he said. The city recently erected a chain-link fence and orange plastic barricades along the sidewalk to deter campers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s just a full-court press to keep people from being settled anywhere,” McHenry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Cities respond to Newsom’s push for a crackdown\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Enforcement seems to be ramping up along the bank of the San Diego River, where about 300 people live in tents and make-shift shacks — many of whom ended up there after police kicked them out of other camps closer to town, said Kendall Burdett, an outreach worker with the nonprofit PATH. Lately, the authorities have been clearing camps along the river multiple times per week, Burdett said. Before Newsom’s executive order, sweeps happened closer to a few times a month, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The riverbank includes land controlled by Caltrans and by the city, and it’s not always clear who is sweeping camps, Burdett said. But he said he’s noticing the authorities are less likely to give advance notice before sweeping, leaving him and his co-workers scrambling to help their clients. That’s making it harder to get people into housing, Burdett said. People often lose their identifying documents in sweeps — which they need to get into subsidized housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That sets the whole thing back,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other times, Burdett can’t find clients after they’re swept. As a result, sometimes clients end up losing their housing placements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego already had been ramping up enforcement, passing an \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/04/homeless-encampment-ban/\">ordinance banning encampments\u003c/a> in certain areas last year. But the city said recent developments have changed nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There has been no change or move to increase abatements after the Supreme Court decision or following Newsom’s executive order,” city spokesperson Matt Hoffman said. “It’s just business as usual as of now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Abatement teams engaged with 326 people during those operations — 38 of whom accepted a shelter bed — and arrested or cited nine people, according to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other cities are passing or considering new, more punitive rules as a result of Newsom’s executive order. In Fresno, the City Council granted preliminary approval last month to an ordinance that would ban camping on public property at all times, the Fresno Bee \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article290535239.html\">reported\u003c/a>. Fresno County approved a similar measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/kevinjlincoln/status/1816551503617736817/photo/2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said on social media site X that\u003c/a> the city must “move urgently” to ensure public safety while also supporting those in need. He made plans for a public study session later this month to discuss how the city will enforce anti-camping ordinances going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sacramento, the city distributes fliers to educate its unhoused residents about the changes under the Supreme Court ruling. The light-blue notices, titled “Attention: Unlawful Camping,” warn that people can be charged with a misdemeanor for camping on public property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re forcing someone under threat of arrest to pack up and move all their belongings,” said Niki Jones, executive director of the Sacramento Regional Coalition to End Homelessness. “And people’s bodies literally can’t handle the physical stress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Where do we go?’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Newsom has provided an influx of money for shelter beds and other services in recent years — including $1 billion in this year’s budget for Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention funds that cities and counties can spend as they see fit — his recent executive order comes with no additional funding. Last year, California cities and counties reported having roughly 71,000 shelter beds.
