This week, the Supreme Court will hear the biggest case on homelessness in decades. Here's our take: The Grants Pass v. Johnson Supreme Court case brings a vital issue into focus — the treatment of homeless individuals. At DignityMoves, our mission is clear: to champion dignity and advocate for effective solutions to end unsheltered homelessness. We believe criminalizing homelessness is counterproductive - but we do need better options. Strategies like Interim Supportive Housing (ISH) go beyond providing a bed; they encompass comprehensive support services and embody our dedication to dignity, respect, and empowering individuals toward stable living. Notably, ISH offers fast and affordable construction. Research indicates that investing in housing is more cost-effective than enforcing anti-homeless laws and hopefully steering governments towards more compassionate and productive approaches. Amidst these discussions, let's prioritize empathy and practical strategies to help our unhoused neighbors off the streets and toward a path out of homelessness. https://lnkd.in/evdMndVJ
