Long Beach will begin citing and possibly arresting homeless people as part of the city’s effort to crack down on its most problematic encampments. Those actions will be used as a last resort to remove encampments known to be 'difficult spots,' Long Beach Deputy City Manager Teresa Chandler announced in a memo this week.
The ruling was considered a win by the leaders of many cities in the West, where a majority of the nation’s unhoused people live. But for homeless advocates, it was a devastating blow after rulings by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that held it was unconstitutional to enforce anti-camping laws against people who had no home and nowhere to sleep.
