California is cracking down on people living outside like never before, taking an aggressive new stance to dismantling and clearing homeless encampments.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has been emphatic that streets are not a home and that it’s unsafe to let people live outside amid public health hazards like rats, drug needles, and piles of trash.
Health care experts and homeless service providers say the law enforcement crackdown is undercutting taxpayer investments in evidence-based treatment and housing services.
About 70 homeless arrests have been made in San Francisco since the city’s mayor, London Breed , ratcheted up cleanup operations in the beginning of August .
Front-line workers are now spending immense time and resources helping people replace valuables like medications, Social Security cards, and birth certificates lost due to sweeps.
A city report found that clearing camps and enforcing anticamping laws is not effectively helping people into housing.
In one central Los Angeles district, street homelessness fell roughly 38% in a one-year period from 2023 to 2024 .
In Los Angeles , meanwhile, street medicine provider Brett Feldman is losing his patients.
