The Supreme Court is considering a case that could impact efforts to help homeless veterans and determine whether cities can criminalize homelessness. Justices are leaning towards giving cities more authority to evict homeless individuals from street encampments, sparking protests and debates on constitutional rights and compassion for the unhoused.
