Supreme Court to Rule on Landmark Homelessness Case

Decision on Grants Pass, Oregon case could redefine laws on public sleeping and impact homelessness policies across the U.S.

The Supreme Court will soon decide on a case that could reshape homelessness laws nationwide.
The case, originating from Grants Pass, Oregon, challenges the criminalization of sleeping in public spaces without available shelter.
A previous ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals deemed such criminalization unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment.
Cities across the U.S. are watching closely, as the decision could impact local ordinances and homelessness policies.
Advocates argue that addressing homelessness requires humane solutions rather than punitive measures.
