California Gov. Gavin Newsom is planning Monday to make a significant push to address homeless encampments. The governor's office is framing the address as a "statewide funding announcement" regarding California's mental health and homelessness issues.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) on Monday called on hundreds of cities and counties to ban homeless encampments on sidewalks, bike paths, and other public property, increasing pressure on local governments to follow the state‘s lead.

The governor’s move may clear the way for local officials to consider tougher actions to clear homeless encampments.
