A month after the U.S. Supreme Court OK'ed a crackdown on homeless camps, Gov. Gavin Newsom is issuing a statewide call to action.

The Supreme Court’s decision on homelessness will test a California shelter system that’s full of problems – and lacking accountability.

There’s a lot of misinformation floating around about homelessness in California. Data can dispel several common myths.

The Supreme Court agreed to intervene after an unusual coalition – including liberal leaders like Gov. Gavin Newsom and state legislators in Republican-led states like Arizona – urged the justices to consider the case.

The governor has been critical of local homelessness efforts and his newly revised 2024-25 budget not only pulls back an extra $260 million that local officials had counted on, but removes all of the homeless funding.

Backers of a tough-on-crime California ballot measure put homelessness at the forefront of their campaign to roll back Prop. 47.

The Supreme Court case centers on the question of whether cities can fine or arrest people for camping in public spaces. The ruling will have nationwide implications for how local leaders manage homeless encampments.

Encampments continue to pop up in residential and commercial areas because people have nowhere else to go.  The status quo of our county isn't working.

Californians in March will vote on a $6.4 billion bond to build thousands of housing units for people with serious mental health conditions. A 2018 ballot measure made similar promises, but Santa Clara County and the rest of the state are falling short.

California counted its homeless population this month. Here’s a look at how the state gets the numbers that impact everything from program funding to stump speeches.

The state has chosen who will build the 1,200 tiny homes Gov. Gavin Newsom promised the state’s homeless residents. But it remains to be seen when they will be built.

Nearly a year ago, Gov. Gavin Newsom promised to deploy 1,200 tiny homes to help shelter the state’s growing population of homeless residents. Now, the state has chosen who will build those tiny homes and what they will look like — but there’s still no word on when people will be able to move in.

Homelessness is a national crisis, and Congress needs to treat it like one. 

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that has implications for how much power California officials have over homeless camps.

The mayor's message: By getting back to basics and working together, we are beginning to see progress on some of our most challenging issues.

Why did the homelessness crisis become more dire in 2023, even as the Legislature passed more affordable housing laws? Home prices and rents are still increasing.

Federal funding for domestic violence shelters and housing programs is declining. Advocates want the state to step in, but with a record projected deficit, new spending is unlikely.
