The Supreme Court ruling allowing jurisdictions to arrest unhoused people for sleeping outside is unjust and misguided. This will only worsen homelessness. We need additional resources for affordable housing and services, NOT criminalization of our most vulnerable people.

We urge governments at all levels to help, not criminalize, the unhoused. Proven programs that reduce barriers to services and housing, with coordinated community efforts, need deeper investment from policymakers now.
