Happy to see my @CityLab story on the fallout from Grants Pass homelessness ruling mentioned in @SCOTUSblog this am https://t.co/Eyl15UUPnn
The Supreme Court’s recent ruling on homelessness has some advocates fearing a cruel, race-to-the-bottom response, w/others confident the lessons of Housing First won’t be forgotten. My latest for @CityLab looks at how California cities are responding https://t.co/bce6V74zfs
The Supreme Court has ruled that the Eighth Amendment does not prevent the enforcement of local camping bans, marking a significant shift in policies on homelessness. This decision, known as the Grants Pass ruling, has prompted California cities such as Los Angeles and Stockton to consider changes to their homelessness policies. The ruling has sparked a debate among advocates, with some fearing a harsh response while others believe in the principles of Housing First. Local officials are calling for compliance with laws requiring reports on homeless encampment sweeps.
