California Sacramento homelessness response mandate

Overview

Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 802, a law requiring the city and county of Sacramento, as well as all smaller cities within the county, to form a joint powers authority to manage the homelessness response. This legislation is described as “highly atypical” because it marks the first time the California Legislature has mandated the formation of such an authority, which is typically a voluntary partnership.

While supporters believe the mandate is necessary for regional coordination, opponents argue it sets a “dangerous precedent.” Sacramento County Supervisor Patrick Kennedy expressed concerns regarding potential ramifications for 57 other counties, and the county is currently threatening legal action to block the implementation of the law.
