Newsom Tries to Unify California's Disjointed Homelessness Solutions

Season 2025 Episode 452

Clearing homeless camps is complex and responses differ widely. Some cities ban encampments with varying notice and storage rules. The next state funding round in 2026–27 will require local encampment policies. Court settlements in places like San Diego and San Bernardino can set binding rules. Smaller cities may lack incentives.
