SoCal Matters
Homeless Camp Ban Rejected
Season 2024
Episode 2
California legilators voted down Senate Bill 1011, a proposed law that sought to ban homeless encampments within 500 feet of schools, transit stops, open spaces and other areas, as well as on sidewalks if beds were available in local shelters. A CalMatters investigation shows that successes where similar laws have taken effect, like in San Diego, come with trade-offs. Marisa Kendall reports.
