Escalating the fight against housing inequity, California’s Governor Gavin Newsom and state housing officials are clamping down on the City of Norwalk over its controversial decision to ban the development of new homeless shelters and supportive housing, as reported by the Governor’s Office. The city, which has been accused of undermining efforts to address the critical homelessness crisis in the state, received a Notice of Violation from the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) warning of potential legal action if the policy isn’t reversed.
