Today's decision by the Supreme Court in the Johnson v. Grants Pass case sets a dangerous precedent for the quarter of a million people who sleep outside each night in America and for the millions of families who are just one missed paycheck away from homelessness. This ruling makes it easier to jail or ticket homeless people and youth for sleeping outside, which will make homelessness worse. Covenant House stands unwavering in our commitment to be there for any youth who comes to our doors.

It's sad that there are not efficient programs to help everyone who is going through homelessness. Instead, there are lobbyists pouring millions for programs and bills that minimize every effort to help the ones in need.
I'm guessing this the response to the Bail Reformation act. Fill the jails with free labor??? I hope I am wrong

1moA crazy world we live in. How are you the reason people are homeless because of bad policy and laws passed by Congress? Than you want to incarcerate the homeless because of an issue you caused and are more than able to fix.
