Since the Supreme Court decision, California has put legal protections in place that prevent criminal punishment of unhoused individuals, emphasizing the necessity of shelter availability.
Governor Gavin Newsom urged local governments to dismantle encampments, stating, 'there are simply no more excuses. It's time for everyone to do their part,' highlighting a push for action.
Sacramento Mayor Darrel Steinberg emphasized a need for sufficient shelter by asserting, 'Society must provide a bed to everybody, and people will have an obligation to take it,' framing the issue as a societal responsibility.
Advocates like Kashyap encourage individuals to document any infringements on their rights during encampment sweeps, stressing, 'if they're in a situation where they're worried that their rights are being violated,' documentation can provide protection.
