Housing, not Handcuffs. At its core, the Grants Pass v. Johnson Supreme Court case asks whether ticketing & arresting unhoused people for trying to survive when there are no other options is cruel and unusual punishment. It is. The research is irrefutable: access to affordable, stable housing and supportive services is the most effective approach to ending homelessness. It is a bipartisan, evidence-based practice backed by multiple, national studies. The underlying cause of America’s housing and homelessness crisis is the severe shortage of homes affordable to people with the lowest incomes and a widening gap between incomes and housing costs. Criminalization makes it harder for people to exit homelessness. Instead, we need to invest in proven and humane solutions. Criminalization is not a solution to homelessness. Imposing fines and jail time is counterproductive, expensive, and dehumanizing. States & leaders should follow the evidence on what works. #EndingHomelessnessAct #HousingCrisisResponseAct #EvictionCrisisAct #housingnothandcuffs Learn more about the case & how to get involved: https://lnkd.in/ePJ7kSZW https://lnkd.in/eVdwCsbe
