Governor Gavin Newsom is tightening the screws on cities and counties over homelessness, warning state money could be withheld without tougher accountability. Despite years of heavy spending, state leaders say street encampments are still growing, fueling frustration in Sacramento. The new rules would require local governments to adopt encampment policies and meet housing benchmarks to qualify for funding. Local officials say the changes could slow access to money, but the message from the state is clear: results matter now.
