California secures motel rooms to house thousands of homeless people amid COVID-19 outbreak

California is on its way to acquiring nearly 16,000 hotel rooms to house the homeless during the pandemic, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Saturday as he reminded people to stay indoors as outbreaks continue to crop up throughout the state.

Standing in front of a Motel 6 near San Jose, Newsom said more than 4,200 people have been moved out of shelters and off the streets into motel rooms. He took the opportunity to scold leaders of unnamed cities for blocking efforts to house the homeless, asking them to “please consider the morality” of their decisions.

I wonder how California is going to handle getting them out once Newsom decides the beervirus isn't a threat any longer?
When I left California, the law said that if a person spent ONE night someplace they were considered a resident and could only be removed against their will by eviction proceedings.
Not only that, but evictions there are a 60 day process, not 30 days.
