Newsom Threatens Legal Action Over Norwalk Ban
News summary

Governor Gavin Newsom has threatened legal action against the city of Norwalk for implementing a 45-day ban on homeless shelters and other supportive housing, calling the ordinance 'unfathomable' and 'immoral' amid California's homelessness crisis. The California Department of Housing and Community Development issued a notice of violation, warning Norwalk officials to repeal the ordinance or face potential lawsuits and revocation of housing compliance. The moratorium, adopted on August 6th, also bans establishments like convenience stores and laundromats, which the city claims can have detrimental community effects. Norwalk officials are set to vote on extending the moratorium by an additional 10 months. The state argues the ban violates multiple housing laws, and Attorney General Rob Bonta supports potential legal actions. Norwalk has until September 23 to respond.
