Homeless advocacy groups have attacked California leaders for pushing back on a court ruling that limited government authority over public encampments.
Thien Ho, district attorney for Sacramento County, joins Americas Newsroom to discuss Californias homeless crisis and his efforts to make a change.
Breed has also insisted that despite the ruling, the city will be committed to offering shelters for homeless people while enforcing laws for people who refuse shelter. "Instead of seeking to punish people simply because they cannot afford the limited housing in California, the governor, and elected officials at all levels should focus their attention on policy solutions such as building more affordable housing, providing subsidies to those who are at risk of losing their housing, and investing in holistic services," the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area said in a statement.
