California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is ordering officials to dismantle homeless encampments throughout the state.

Newsom issued the edict Thursday in an executive order, roughly one month after the Supreme Court ruled that attempts to remove such encampments was not a violation of one's constitutional rights.

“This executive order directs state agencies to move urgently to address dangerous encampments while supporting and assisting the individuals living in them – and provides guidance for cities and counties to do the same,” the governor said in a statement. “There are simply no more excuses. It’s time for everyone to do their part.”

In the Supreme Court case, Grants Pass v. Johnson, the justices ruled in favor of an Oregon city that ticketed homeless people for sleeping outside.

Thousands of encampments could be removed as a result of the order, according to CNN.

The executive order directs state agencies to "move urgently to address dangerous encampments while supporting and assisting the individuals living in them – and provides guidance for cities and counties to do the same."

California has for years struggled with homelessness as a result of, in large part, the high cost of housing and a shortage of affordable housing.
