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. They’d need more than twice that to accommodate every unhoused Californian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks are rightly asking, ‘Where do we go?’” Jones said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even when shelter beds are available, sweeps often fail to fill them. Santa Cruz, for example, estimates between 30 and 40 people were living in the park encampment it swept in April. Just 16 of those people accepted a shelter placement. No one kicked out of the nature preserve accepted shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999902\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1916px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999902\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1916\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross.png 1916w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross-800x534.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross-1536x1025.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1916px) 100vw, 1916px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stephanie Ross, 49, has been unhoused in Santa Cruz and receives help from local activists. \u003ccite>(Manuel Orbegozo/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>People living on the streets of Santa Cruz say police often tell them to go to a sanctioned encampment on the National Guard Armory property — where residents sleep in tents and get meals and showers.

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.

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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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>\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. They’d need more than twice that to accommodate every unhoused Californian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks are rightly asking, ‘Where do we go?’” Jones said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even when shelter beds are available, sweeps often fail to fill them. Santa Cruz, for example, estimates between 30 and 40 people were living in the park encampment it swept in April. Just 16 of those people accepted a shelter placement. No one kicked out of the nature preserve accepted shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999902\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1916px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999902\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1916\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross.png 1916w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross-800x534.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Ross-1536x1025.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1916px) 100vw, 1916px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stephanie Ross, 49, has been unhoused in Santa Cruz and receives help from local activists. \u003ccite>(Manuel Orbegozo/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>People living on the streets of Santa Cruz say police often tell them to go to a sanctioned encampment on the National Guard Armory property — where residents sleep in tents and get meals and showers.

(The Excelsior supervisor met his wife during his time at MIT, and the two moved together to her hometown of San Francisco in 2000.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, his city planning education has involved both top-level management, like spearheading audits of the city’s contracts and advocating for everyday workers.[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously, Safaí served as the political director for the labor union representing janitors — an experience he said shaped his trajectory in politics to support working and middle-class families like the one he grew up in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a city that’s grown in a very strong dichotomy. We have the most billionaires in one location, and we have a lot of extreme poverty and low-income families,” he said. “The voices of everyday San Franciscans and making sure this is a city for everyone has been missing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Safaí is the only immigrant in the race\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Raised by a single mom, Safaí moved to Massachusetts from Iran following the Iranian Revolution and is the only mayoral candidate not born in the U.S. He recalled difficult memories of growing up in the Middle East, including rolling power blackouts, gun violence and cultural erasure in schools. But, he said, the experience allows him to better represent the more than 30% of San Franciscans who are immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mayor has been catering to real wealthy interests and downtown,” Safaí said. “I knocked on thousands of doors and heard people’s stories of why they want new representation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Says we can’t “arrest our way out” of the drug and homelessness crises\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"san-francisco-mayor-election\"]\u003cbr>\nA moderate Democrat, Safaí has attempted to contrast himself from some of his opponents who have come down harshly on street homelessness and drug-related issues. Safaí said the city needs to hold drug dealers accountable but criticized Mayor London Breed and candidate Mark Farrell for relying too heavily on sweeping encampments and arresting drug users as a solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safaí pointed to overcrowding in the city’s jail population, which he said has been amplified by the renewed push to arrest drug users and people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mayor’s approach has been ‘let’s arrest our way out of this drug and overdose crisis,’” Safaí said, calling the approach ineffective. “They are arrested, they clog the jails, then they are released.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He advocates for more sober living options citywide and suggests increasing measures like offering bus tickets out of the city, a program San Francisco began in 2005. He also emphasized the need for more behavioral health beds, drug treatment facilities and overdose prevention sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t arrest our way out of this crisis,” Safaí said, deeming it “a public health crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Firing the SFMTA head is a “top priority”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If elected, the supervisor said one of his first priorities would be appointing a new head for San Francisco’s Municipal Transit Authority, a position currently held by Jeffrey Tumlin.

"content": "\u003cp>Seven hundred people packed into a ballroom at the iconic Fairmont Hotel on Sunday to hear from Vice President Kamala Harris at a fundraiser that reportedly hauled in more than $12 million for her presidential bid and attracted some of the region’s biggest names in politics, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor London Breed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Harris’s first visit back to the city where she got her start in politics since her presidential campaign unexpectedly launched three weeks ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will win this election,” said Harris as she stood in front of a blue “Harris- Walz” sign, flanked by the U.S. and California flags. “And we do not have a day to waste.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In attendance was a long roster of elected officials, including California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis and Rep. Barbara Lee — and other civic and business leaders, like Giants President Larry Baer and former Walt Disney CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg. Katzenberg is a co-chair of Harris’ campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris acknowledged Newsom and Breed from the stage, as well as Reps. Barbara Lee and Jared Huffman — and Oakland congressional candidate Lateefah Simon, who’s running for Lee’s seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the vice president spent much of her speech stressing what’s at stake this November and didn’t hold back when discussing her opponents and their plans. She framed it as a fight for freedoms — to vote, to be safe from gun violence, to love freely, and to have control over one’s own body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is that if Donald Trump were to win this election, he would sign a national abortion ban,” she said. “If a national abortion ban is in play, California, and many other states that have protected that right, will not be immune.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris promised to put “middle-class families and working-class families first,” declaring that “when the middle class is strong, our whole nation is strong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And what we know is, while we are focused on a future with optimism and with a sense of yes, ambition, about what is possible, Donald Trump has a different plan,” she said. “Just look at his \u003ca href=\"https://www.project2025.org/\">Project 2025\u003c/a> agenda.”[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"presidential-election\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was referring to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998288/what-is-project-2025-donald-trump-heritage-foundation-director-steps-down\">the 900-page Project 2025 plan created by the conservative Heritage Foundation,\u003c/a> which calls for consolidating presidential power, sidelining critics and pursuing a long list of right-wing policy priorities. Democrats have seized on the plan while Trump has tried to distance himself from it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turning toward Pelosi, who was seated in the audience, Harris went on, to laughter, “Nancy, I just joke sometimes that — can you believe that they actually put that thing in writing? I mean, they had the gall to put it, like — it’s bound, and then they distributed it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tickets for the event ranged from $3,300 to $500,000. In addition to the who’s who of Bay Area Democratic politicians and donors, it attracted dozens of wealthy Democrats eager to support a potentially history-making presidential ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attendees began showing up hours before Harris took the stage, lining up in the fog along California Street for the security queue. The crowd milled around under giant crystal chandeliers, sipping coffee and mimosas while they waited for the event to begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was introduced by Pelosi, who praised Harris and stressed the work ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She makes us all so proud. She brings us so much joy,” Pelosi said. “Personally, I know Kamala is a person of great strength, great faith. … She knows the issues. She knows the strategy. She has gotten an enormous amount done working with Joe Biden.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holly Ward attended the fundraiser and said afterward she was particularly struck by one thing Harris said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re voting for a country of freedom and compassion and the rule of law.
