“This case does not limit communities’ response to addressing homelessness. Cities remain free to use any of the many evidence-based approaches that end homelessness, like housing."
"All this case says is that, unless everybody has access to shelter that meets their needs, they cannot be arrested, ticketed, or otherwise punished for sleeping outside."
“The only reason you want to overturn that decision is if you want to be able to use the threat of law enforcement against unhoused people without even bothering to make sure that they have a place where they could could go."
"Calling the case the most significant Supreme Court involvement in the rights of homeless people in decades, the National Homelessness Law Center said the court’s ruling will have a big impact on the 250,000 people who sleep outside on a given night."
“If politicians were truly focused on ending homelessness, they would focus on proven solutions like housing and services."
“The case is about what whether cities who have failed to meet the residents’ basic needs like housing or shelter are also allowed to punish people for sleeping outside using things like blankets or pillows."
