The Supreme Court Considers the Cruelty of Criminalizing Homelessness =============== #0f917dd5 ver:0.22 The US Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of ticketing homeless individuals for camping on public property, with implications for cities nationwide. The case originated in Grants Pass, Oregon, where the city argues its anti-camping ordinance is a solution to the homelessness crisis. The court will decide if these rules violate the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. The outcome will guide cities in addressing homelessness while respecting constitutional rights. The US has seen a 12% increase in homelessness, prompting legal and policy solutions. The ruling is expected by June. #SupremeCourt #Homelessness #Constitutionality... #newstr #UsSupremeCourt #Homelessness #HousingMarket #HousingOptions #Partnerships #FaithCommunities #Builders #LocalGovernment #PreventingHomelessness #VulnerableIndividuals https://here.news/story/0f917dd5?ver=0.22
