"SCOTUS Case Puts Homelessness Rights in the Spotlight"
TL;DR Summary
Grants Pass, Oregon, is at the center of a U.S. Supreme Court case that will determine whether city ordinances penalizing homeless individuals for sleeping in public spaces constitute cruel and unusual punishment. The case, Grants Pass v. Johnson, has broad implications for homelessness policy across the country. Homeless residents are required to move from one park to another every 72 hours under threat of citations or jail time, and the city's approach has sparked a legal battle over civil rights and public policy.
