On April 22nd, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear the case of Johnson v. Grants Pass. At its core, this case will decide whether cities are allowed to punish people for things like sleeping outside with a pillow or blanket, even when there are no safe shelter options.   There are many proven and data-backed solutions to #homelessness, like providing people with #housing and services. Arresting or otherwise punishing homeless folks is not a solution, and jails and fines make the cycle of homelessness worse. Ensuring access to housing is a fundamental step towards addressing homelessness and laying the groundwork for further support and interventions. This underscores the significance of housing as a key solution to homelessness. #endhomelessness Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e3U-MmiK
