(Sacramento, CA) — Homeless advocates across the state are reacting to Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order to have local municipalities clear out homeless encampments. There are almost two hundred thousand unhoused people and thousands more on the edge of homelessness.

The Sacramento Regional Coalition To End Homelessness says the executive order is out of touch with the homeless community and one that poses no solution. Newsom’s order comes after a Supreme Court decision that gave state officials authority to remove homeless encampments and ticket people who camp in public.
