(The Center Square) — Californians are urging Gov. Gavin Newsom to acknowledge the Trump administration’s executive order on homelessness, believing it will help mitigate a state crisis. 

The order presents a law-and-order approach to homelessness that closely resembles Newsom’s approach. However, it upends “housing first” and “harm reduction” — two standard policies used in California.
