This is an outstanding read. Well done, Lauren!
This is an outstanding read. Well done, Lauren!
@AKFasanelli @invisiblepeople Kentucky prohibited camping, among other things, this year. The FOP VP said that was “a real struggle for our membership. It may put our officers in a position where we have to do a lot more work, where we're really not going to get the best outcome that we're looking for.”
NEW: Analysis from the Alliance's Homelessness Research Institute compares how data-backed solutions to homelessness compare in effectiveness to punitive approaches (tickets, fines, arrests, etc.), in light of #JohnsonVGrantsPass. buff.ly/3W9Ra6K
Read this….
Criminalization and forced encampment are grounded in the idea that you have force the unhoused to get treatment--as if it's easy for anyone to get a mental health treatment or a recovery bed even if they are housed and have a job (It's not). (13/x)
No one wants to be homeless. Full stop. It's terrible. Never really sleeping. Always on guard against attack and rape and harassment. The huge loneliness of having nowhere to go all day. The shame of asking for change and seeing most people walk by without looking at you (8/x).
I struggle to think of another public policy debate that so uniformly rests on broad assumptions and then refuses to see that the homeless are . . . complex people? Adults? Fully functioning human beings in a terrible situation? (5/x)
An outrageous statement. The McPherson raid went against the government’s own guidance, and failed to rehouse the majority of residents. Simply Making homelessness less visible is a political shell game, not a solution. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…

“Our leaders need to support what is proven to work, rather than revert to failed policies of the past. Safe and affordable housing is a win for everyone because it makes us stronger- and communities will support leaders who fight for it.” - @annymoliva at #SCOTUS
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson: "All humans engage in the act in question: sleeping. And yet the ordinance operates to penalize only certain individuals, those who have no choice but to do that act in public."
TODAY: oral arguments for the first major #SCOTUS case on homelessness since the 1980s. @annymoliva: "We will be watching this case closely in hopes that it brings much-needed focus to evidence-based solutions to homelessness." Full statment: buff.ly/3xDzMNd
Justice Elena Kagan: "For a homeless person who has no place to go, sleeping in public is kind of like breathing in public."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor: "Where are they supposed to sleep? Are they supposed to kill themselves not sleeping?"
Should cities be able to criminalize homelessness? The Supreme Court will hear arguments on the issue tomorrow. Watch this video from @invisiblepeople for an in depth look at homelessness in Grants Pass: youtu.be/qYzx4ZGQnc8?si…
Per @sberg0, imposing punitive measures on people experiencing homelessness separates people from their support networks. It worsens the situation and often creates more tensions in communities. buff.ly/3SoYPvo
"Now is the time to create an America that doesn’t abandon its elders...we will not only improve the world for those experiencing homelessness, but create a future that is better for all." My piece in @usnews @ucsfbhhi @TheOpEdProject #PublicVoices usnews.com/news/health-ne…
Illegal to Sleep: Grants Pass’ Cruel War on Homelessness youtu.be/qYzx4ZGQnc8?si…
One company received $3.4 million to clear a single encampment. At another clearing, $2 million was spent on police presence alone. Once again, we will spend endless money to terrorize unhoused people instead of just housing them. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…
“Now is the time to create an America that doesn’t abandon its elders. In doing so, we will not only improve the world for those experiencing homelessness, but create a future that is better for all,” says Dr. @MKushel. Read @MKushel's new op-ed in @usnews⬇️⬇️

BREAKING! Another MAJOR media publisher just reached out asking to collaborate on a super cool project. Right now in the discovery phase, but this collaboration with major media might actually become a thing!
Nailed on the head, @annymoliva. Failure to define the current state of reality and then contemplate a wide array of interventions, analyzing the cost and benefits of each proposal side by side. Because if we did that the dignified solution and the ones that work would align.
“Homelessness has become a much more visible problem. Elected officials are being publicly pressured to be seen as doing something about the problem,” says @annymoliva. “What we’re seeing is political rather than strategic reactions." buff.ly/3UjAYNI
So no, drug users don't choose to be homeless so they can keep using drugs and have a good time. Mental illness is often the result, not the reason, of homelessness. (12/x)
If anyone made a broad claim about any other group like that, we wouldn't take it seriously. But that's how we treat the homeless: dismissively, or at best like they are helpless children lacking a strong paternalist guiding hand (4/x)

"If Grants Pass can do this, so could every other city. So could a state do it statewide. Eventually a homeless person would have no place to be." — Edwin Kneedler, arguing for the government
Gorsuch pushes with a variety of hypos .... the ultimate bottom line is society has a responsibility to provide basic necessities & shouldn't be able to criminalize people when they aren't available. #SCOTUS
I don't know why it's 4 Ps when it should be 5 Ps — privacy, possessions, partners, pets and *protection* — since safety is the biggest reason that women with children avoid shelters
Homeless advocates often talk about the "four Ps" that shelters need to offer (but often don't): privacy, possessions, partners and pets. When shelters don't allow these things people will often choose to sleep on the street instead.
Justice Alito asks about a hypothetical: What if a homeless person knows there is a shelter bed available but doesn't want to go because they don't take pets? This isn't an unlikely scenario at all. There are lots of reasons why people refuse shelters, most often safety.
US Deputy Solicitor General Edwin Kneedler is up now. I don't think any justices sounded sympathetic to the argument being made by the lawyer for Grants Pass.
NLIHC President @dianeyentel joined @naehomelessness 's Ann Oliva & @CenterOnBudget 's Peggy Bailey in a statement on how the Grants Pass v. Johnson SCOTUS case highlights the need for leaders to address homelessness w/ humane, proven strategies: tinyurl.com/mwfywm7m
