Today’s devastating Supreme Court decision on #JohnsonVGrantsPass upheld a city law aimed at banning homeless residents from sleeping outdoors. The ruling held that the enforcement of the law, which includes fines and even jail time for sleeping and camping in public places, does not constitute “cruel and unusual punishment” – even when people have no choice but to sleep outside. This is a step in the wrong direction and a reminder of the work ahead – to continue to drive forward real solutions to homelessness and push back against the counterproductive approach of criminalization.
BREAKING: In a historically shameful decision, the Supreme Court has ruled in #JohnsonVGrantsPass that homeless people are not included in the Constitution’s protections against cruel and unusual punishment. This ruling will make homelessness drastically worse and impact the 250,000+ people who sleep outside each night, as well as millions of Americans who are just one missed paycheck away from homelessness. Arresting or fining people for trying to survive is expensive, counterproductive, cruel, and simply does not work. We are enraged but unsurprised that the Supreme Court sided with out-of-touch billionaires and against the poorest among us. #HousingNotHandcuffs To truly solve homelessness, we demand the Biden administration and Congress invest at least $356 billion in transforming approaches to homelessness away from criminalization and towards proven housing-based solutions.

We do this by building community capacity to improve housing outcomes for people impacted by the criminal legal system and/or reducing homelessness for people with criminal records.
