LOS ANGELES – A long-standing homeless encampment near the Harbor (110) Freeway in South Los Angeles has been cleared, with housing provided for its 40 residents, officials announced Tuesday.

All the people in the encampment accepted shelter and support, according to a statement from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office.

No one should live in a dangerous or unsanitary encampment, and we will continue our ongoing work to ensure that everyone has a safe place to call home. We stand strongest when we stand together — today, we are proud to work with our partners in Los Angeles to pair urgency with dignity and get people the help they need and deserve. California has built a strong system to address homelessness, and it is helping us turn this nationwide crisis around. Gov. Gavin Newsom
