"Florida Governor Signs Controversial Bill Banning Homeless from Public Sleeping"

TL;DR Summary
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill prohibiting homeless individuals from camping or sleeping on public property, aiming to provide "wraparound services" and ensure clean and safe streets. The legislation requires municipalities to designate specific public spaces for camping if shelters are full, but critics argue that the $30 million allocated for this measure is insufficient. The law, effective from October 1, has drawn criticism for unfairly targeting a vulnerable population and placing limits on struggling municipalities dealing with homelessness.
