Governor Gavin Newsom’s SAFE Task Force has removed homeless encampments on state property in Fresno and San Diego, connecting residents with medical services, housing, and other resources.
Governor Gavin Newsom has announced the creation of the State Action for Facilitation on Encampments (SAFE) Task Force to coordinate state agencies to remove homeless encampments and expand access to shelter and supportive services in California’s ten largest cities.
California cities and counties have varying policies for clearing homeless encampments, ranging from detailed guidelines to no rules at all, making it difficult to address the issue of homelessness across the state.
California is cracking down on cities that fail to meet their housing goals, with Fresno losing its Prohousing Designation for failing to follow through on reforms, and Davis facing similar threats if it doesn’t reform its Measure J/R/D and streamline its permitting processes.
