SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California’s governor called upon the state’s cities and counties to ban homeless encampments this week, even providing blueprint legislation for dismantling the tents lining streets, parks and waterways throughout much of the state.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom shared his state model for cities and counties to immediately address homeless encampments "with urgency and dignity."

Saying that there are no more excuses, California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday released a model ordinance for local municipalities to address homeless encampments, along with announcing new funding for treatment and housing.
