What a Supreme Court Ruling Could Mean for US Homelessness

==========

The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case concerning Grants Pass, Oregon's ban against homeless encampments. The town does not provide shelters, leading to a debate on whether this constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment." A narrow ruling from the court could have significant repercussions for the nation's homeless population. Cities and states are adopting legislation to increase law enforcement sweeps and enforce involuntary hospital commitments. The case highlights that housing and homelessness are not strictly partisan issues.
