The California Homeless Bill of Rights is a law aimed at protecting the rights of homeless individuals in the state. It recognizes that everyone, regardless of housing status, deserves basic human rights, such as the ability to sit, sleep, and access public spaces without discrimination. The law also addresses issues like healthcare access and the need for local governments to provide supportive services rather than criminalizing homelessness. Essentially, it aims to ensure that homeless individuals are treated with dignity and respect while fostering solutions to address homelessness in California.
