After a court ruling this summer, Gov. Newsom issued an executive order directing state agencies to clear encampments on state property, and encouraging local governments to do the same.
A state agency failed to properly protect $319.5 million in federal homelessness funds, which were distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic, from the possibility of misuse.
In addition to housing, the project includes a new 6-acre open space, retail space, a retail main street at 20th Avenue and senior and child care facilities.
