Redding Makes Washington DC National Law Center Homeless Civil Rights Hall of Shame List

WoW ! Congratulations Redding California !

Washington DC National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty has identified seven especially harmful policies and has included Redding California in its NATIONAL HALL OF SHAME in its Housing not Handcuffs 2019 Report !

"The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty (Law Center) is the only national organization dedicated to using the power of the law to end and prevent homelessness. The Law Center works to expand access to affordable housing, meet the immediate and long-term needs of those who are homeless or at risk, and strengthen the social safety-net through policy advocacy, public education, impact litigation, and legal training and support. 

The Law Center recognizes that communities struggle with difficult policy choices over how to reduce homelessness and often pursue a combination of good (constructive) and bad (destructive) policies. Rather than call out individual governments for being the best or worst, we have identified particularly bad policies and/or practices of certain governments to include in our Hall of Shame.

This year, the Law Center has identified seven especially harmful policies, enacted by: Ocala, Florida; Sacramento, California; Wilmington, Delaware; Kansas City, Missouri; Redding, California; the State of Texas; and the United States federal government"

Governor Newsom On Redding California Homeless Prison "Whether You Like It Or Not"

"Whether You Like It Or Not"

These are chilling words from California Governor Gavin Newsom coming back to haunt the poor and disenfranchised homeless of Redding and the rest of the state of California.

Now Governor Newsom says changes are coming for the state's prison and jail system, and it looks like he has been working on it for quite some time.

"I have spent the last six or so months, not a gross exaggeration, assembled a team of experts to look at re-imagining a 21st century criminal justice system."

"So we're looking at step down facilities."

So one might ask is the recent firestorm of controversy directed at Redding Mayor Julie Winter and the idea of forced incarceration of homeless and conservatorship of their finances part of a much larger plan to have facilities placed up and down
the state of California with Redding the far northern planned facility?

Is this a result of Trump looking at crackdown on homelessness as aides visited California?

Something tantamount to a middle ages debtors prison to go with the medieval plagues that are surfacing as well Redding Mayor Winter?

"And as California goes so goes the rest of the nation"....

“We’ll hide the costs of that in our jail budget, in our police budget, in our courts budget and, you know, we’ll make it disappear for today…” This is the criminalization of #homelessness—hiding costs and punting on problems. People are hurting now. https://t.co/kjTsg6Cv0q
