Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov

We’re launching a new task force to clear encampments, restore public spaces, and connect people with shelter and services. California is taking action by reducing unsheltered homelessness and outperforming the nation in slowing this crisis.

He's not just throwing out their stuff. Newsom has released $3.3 billion in voter-approved funds (from Proposition 1) to expand housing and treatment options for the unhoused population. This funding will create more than 5,000 residential treatment beds and support approximately 214 new facilities

If those services don't exist now then cleaning up encampments now is cruel. You have to have the shelter to move them to first and there isn't enough. So keep hoping meanwhile encampments are being cleaned up without enough housing and mental health help provided.

Thats a decent start- there are roughly 187k homeless people in CA, so thats assisting roughly 2.5%. Not a groundbreaking number, but something.

It's heartbreaking to know that there is no correct answer to this problem until we have universal health care. Yes, there are a majority of homeless that are drug dependent, but so many more are just without a home because they can't afford to be healthy.

I fully support our governor. But I do have to say, what shelters? In Sonoma County there are only a couple of them and they are always full. Long waiting lists. And they kick people out on the streets if they get covid. There's nowhere for people to go!

Did they move people into those locations prior to destroying and clearing out their shelters? Or do they expect unhoused people to figure it out themselves? Removing their current shelter and leaving them to deal with it themselves is fucked up. That's what I said. And you did not contradict it.

The thing is they're not going to move, and take advantage of all the things they're trying to do to help them. So you have to give them incentive to move and tell them we're coming for your stuff if you don't go get the help you need. That's the idea right? If you let them stay, why move?

There has to be a location to give homeless some dignity& also provide a ride into town to work. Give them a boost & maybe they can survive with dignity.

In SoCal, when city councils or county commissioners "clean up" the homeless, the homeless just move a few miles away into what is typically CalTrans jurisdiction. The homeless know CalTrans is so slow to respond, so the result is still no resolution.

Before your task force starts destroying those encampments, make sure the people who will be displaced have a chance to gather what little possessions they have. And make sure the shelters will have the room to accept an overflow of people. And to expedite services to help those people.

Celebrating a task force that clears tents misses the point. Homelessness spikes because rich buyers hoard city homes they don’t occupy. Until that practice is addressed, people will still sleep on the streets. Real solutions require tackling housing scarcity, not just moving tents around.
