The Supreme Courts decision to allow the criminalization of homelessness is inhumane. This ruling overturns a California Appeals Court decision that deemed criminalization to be “Cruel and Unusual Punishment” when shelter space is significantly lacking. Sleep is a biological function, not a crime. There are so many factors that play into why an individual may become homeless. This ruling fails to address any of those concerns, and instead punishes individuals who receive the least amount of support in our society. Homelessness disproportionately affects individuals with disabilities, older adults, the LGBTQIA+ community, Veterans, and people of color. According to the last Point-In-Time count, more than 650,000 Americans are homeless - the most in history since beginning to record this data in 2007. Nearly half of these individuals have no other choice but to sleep outside. Shelters are allowed to set their own admission criteria, which automatically is biased against people with disabilities due to access needs. Others do not feel safe in shelters for a variety of reasons. I know personally if I were told to go to a shelter tomorrow, I would do everything in my power to avoid that becoming a reality. This decision is inherently classist and is designed to punish individuals on the lowest rung of our socio-economic ladder.

High quality programs and systems have family voice integrated into decision making.
