Gov. Newsom, driven by a key Supreme Court ruling, directs state agencies to address the issue with dignity and encourages local governments to follow suit.
This is the first part of a series examining the impact of the Supreme Court's ruling in Grants Pass v. Johnson on state and local policy.
REDLANDS, Calif. — The city of Redlands plans no changes to its homelessness support and outreach following Gov. Gavin Newsom's executive order on Thursday, July 25, instructing state agencies to begin removing homeless encampments.
The order follows the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson, which on June 28, 2024, decided that local governments can criminalize camping on public land.
Why it matters: The governor's executive order represents a significant step in California's ongoing efforts to address homelessness. It remains to be seen if the efforts to remove the encampments will successfully balance the call for immediate action while also maintaining respect and dignity for those affected.
The city of Redlands says its current response to homelessness has been "effective" and aligns with the Governor’s goals to address encampments while providing shelter and services.
