In a significant move to address the issue of homelessness, Governor Gavin Newsom has directed California state agencies to take urgent and respectful action in managing encampments across communities (copy of the executive order can be found here).  The Governor's directive emphasizes a compassionate approach, aiming to balance public health and safety concerns with the dignity of individuals experiencing homelessness.
