California's local governments are failing to pay their homeless service providers on time. It's making it even harder to get people off the street. @CalMatters https://t.co/oJLOEpC84N

.@GavinNewsom weighs in on Grants Pass v. Johnson ruling: "This decision removes the legal ambiguities that have tied the hands of local officials for years and limited their ability to deliver on common-sense measures to protect the safety and well-being of our communities."

Big homelessness news today. The Supreme Court in Grants Pass v. Johnson rules cities can punish people for sleeping outside, even if they have nowhere to go -- opening the doors for more crackdowns on encampments @CalMatters https://t.co/veA2QP8kh6

Street doctors are giving injections of psychiatric drugs to patients in homeless encampments. They say the shots can help stabilize them and even get them off the street. But it's far from easy. @CalMatters https://t.co/r2Suh8xXsP

Yesterday was a big day for bills -- hundreds were killed. Three homelessness-related ones I'm following passed: AB 2479 and AB 2893 to allow state funding for sober housing, and AB 2903 to increase accountability over homelessness spending. @CalMatters https://t.co/TZG0RejbMQ

Results from this year's homeless point in time counts are starting to roll in. Alameda County actually saw a decrease -- for the first time in years. Long Beach had a slight decrease too, while Orange County saw an increase. https://t.co/Ea1wI9LIsD https://t.co/HjRjnAX4eb

The Sacramento Homeless Union is suing the city over the pending closure of Camp Resolution. I wrote about the camp, which originally was supposed to be a model of a self-governed, city-sanctioned homeless encampment. @CalMatters https://t.co/5rmyldWDGW

California's strict adherence to "housing first" means state housing money can't fund programs where homeless residents are required to be sober. Should that change? These Democrats think so. @CalMatters https://t.co/Oli3VkEPLz

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments today in a monumental case that could give cities in California and beyond more authority to punish homeless people for camping. @CalMatters https://t.co/9lj0volz9p

CA was counting on FEMA $$ when it moved thousands of homeless residents into hotel rooms during COVID. Now, FEMA says many of those hotel stays won't be reimbursed. Local officials, suddenly on the hook for millions, say they were blindsided. @CalMatters https://t.co/2lqnMmEk1V

California voters will vote this March on Prop. 1, a measure that promises to create thousands of homes for homeless residents. But a look back at a similar measure, passed in 2018, shows just how hard it can be to fill those promises. @CalMatters https://t.co/HkNi8vpS8T
