Those breaking the rules face hundred-dollar fines and possible prison sentences for repeat offender
Washington – The US Supreme Court heard arguments Monday on whether cities can ban homeless people from sleeping outside, as the country grapples with increasing rates of Americans living on the streets and a lack of shelter beds.
Homeless advocates have argued that banning people from camping when there is nowhere else to sleep amounts to "cruel and unusual punishment" -- prohibited by the US Constitution's Eighth Amendment. Corkran added that the ban turns "the city's homelessness problem into someone else's problem by forcing its homeless residents into other jurisdictions."
Evangelis said the 2022 ruling had "fueled the spread of encampments while harming those it purports to protect." Grants Pass, population 40,000, does not have a municipal homeless shelter and instead relies on private charities. "You can remove the homeless status in an instant if you move to a shelter or situations otherwise change and of course it can be moved the other way as well if you're kicked out of the shelter," Roberts said.
