Supreme Court Allowed Cities to Ban Camping. Here’s What Happened Next in California.
- Earlier this week, Judge Carter declined to impose receivership, citing city noncompliance and ordered federal monitoring instead.
- The court’s finding stemmed from evidence of the city’s failure to provide updated plans and verify data, after the alliance sued over unmet shelter bed obligations.
- During the seven-day hearing, evidence showed the city refused to verify reporting, with the court stating, `The court wants the city to succeed`.
- Following the ruling, a federal monitor was appointed to oversee compliance, with quarterly hearings ordered starting Nov. 12 and legal fees likely covered for advocacy groups.
- Upcoming court deadlines include submitting an updated bed plan by October 3 and achieving nearly 13,000 shelter beds by June 2027, with quarterly reports to monitor progress.
