After Newsom released a directive to clear out homeless encampments, some Southern California groups say it may not be realistic to carry out the plan.
While many local leaders say they’ve already been doing the groundwork similar to the governor’s order, some groups are concerned it’s not realistic.Many local agencies, organizations, and governments agree homeless encampments are a safety and health concern, especially for those living in them, but some wonder if the Governor’s director is effective.
“We need to focus on having community input from our residents in this discussion and develop a protocol that answers the Governor’s call to urgently address homeless encampments while respecting the dignity and safety of people experiencing homelessness,” Long Beach Councilmember Kristina Duggan also said in support.
“It gives us some concern that unfortunately, people are just going to be swept off of these locations, which isn't really healthy or helpful for anybody, for the cities or for the people living in them,” said Elizabeth Mitchell, the lead counsel for the group.
