It sounds like they plan to clear the camps and dump the people on the (already strained) local support systems without giving any extra funding or infra to those support systems.
It seems like this is a bit of a political move. I understand that the article mentions connecting the homeless that are cleared with the local support structure. But it gives no mention of how those support structures will be improved. No additional funding or infrastructure provided.
From what I understand the local support structures are already at capacity and generally shelters are still unsafe (especially for women).
This is either coming from Newsome not understanding the issue at best. And a political move that will just cause more suffering at worst.
