A California city voted to criminalize “aiding” and “abetting” homeless camps Tuesday — an unusual move that advocates say could stifle help for people who need it.

Those who violate the policy, which takes effect in 30 days, could be subject to penalties of up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail
