SB 79 is a bill by @scottwiener.bsky.social expanding access to affordable housing across CA. SB 634 is a bill by @senatorsrp.bsky.social that protects serving unhoused people. #housingnews #housingpolicy #housingjustice

Opinion |Cities that ban or criminalize homeless services worsen California’s crisis A bill on the governor’s desk would stop cities from chasing away supportive services and workers who help unhoused people survive the streets.

Cities that block homeless services make the crisis worse. #SB634 would protect critical outreach and aid to unhoused people. Learn more in this op-ed by ICLC's own Jed Leano.

Jails and tickets won't end homelessness.
It ends with housing.
It ends with supportive services.
It ends with outreach.

That’s what SB 634 is about. #SB634 @CAGovernor @CalMatters

CPDA is supporting #SB634, a bill that would stop local + state governments from charging the homeless and/or those helping them w/civil or criminal penalties.
This makes it clear: cities can't block life-saving outreach & services for people experiencing homelessness.

Some CA cities and counties are working to address homelessness with housing, outreach, case management and medical care. Others would make it ILLEGAL and criminally punish Good Samaritans. #SB634 by Senator Perez would KEEP CARE LEGAL all of California! calmatters.org/commentary/2...

#SB634 is a bill that would prevent California cities from criminalizing helping our homeless neighbors survive. Sadly, it's needed, because Fremont and El Cajon have been doing just that, and the practice could spread. Tell your Assembly member to support SB634!

#California residents! If you think people shouldn’t be fined or jailed for simply being #unhoused, and that local govt need to create better #Housing #policy, then please submit a letter of support for CA #SB634 ! More info, letter template, and link to portal to submit are in the post below.

Current penalties such as jail time, fines, and fees on individuals for a problem created by public policy is cruel and makes homelessness harder to solve when people are given further financial burdens.
