Description
June 28 on The Story: The U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in the Johnson v. Grants Pass case Friday morning, ruling 6-3 that cities can enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside even when there is no shelter available. It's the most significant case before the high court in decades on the issue and is expected to have wide-ranging impacts around the county, although Oregon state law will prevent any immediate changes on Portland's streets. Still, local homeless advocates were quick to condemn the decision, saying it amounts to criminalization of poverty.
