In #JohnsonvGrantsPass , #SCOTUS will decide if cities can ticket or arrest people for sleeping outside with no other options. Criminalizing #homelessness is not the answer. It's time for better solutions like affordable housing & supportive services. Visit JohnsonvGrantrsPass.com

Join us Tuesday April 16!

We signed on to this amicus in the Johnson v Grants Pass case. Attempts to criminalize homelessness will always disproportionately impact the disability community. People experiencing homelessness need access to housing and support services, not jail time. #HousingNotHandcuffs

Today, we filed an amicus brief in support of those experiencing homelessness in the Johnson v. Grants Pass #SCOTUS case. Housing is a NEED, not a privilege. #HousingNotHandcuffs
