Judges with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday are poised to make a crucial determination on whether the city of San Francisco can resume clearing homeless encampments.
This follows a prior year's ruling by a federal judge that restrained the city from engaging in such actions.
Last year, a federal judge blocked the city from enforcing a local ordinance that prohibits people from sleeping and camping on city streets. In a motion, homeless advocates emphasized that San Francisco's shelter bed waitlist exceeded 1,000 people on it. There is no reservation system to get a bed.
