California Gov. Gavin Newsom is planning Monday to make a significant push to address homeless encampments. The governor's office is framing the address as a "statewide funding announcement" regarding California's mental health and homelessness issues.

On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom released a plan to remove homeless individuals from the street with a new directive for cities, towns and counties to ban tent camping on sidewalks and in parks.

The governor’s move may clear the way for local officials to consider tougher actions to clear homeless encampments.
