#johnsonvgrantspass

This week, #SCOTUS heard arguments in #JohnsonVGrantsPass , a case examining whether criminal or civil penalties for sleeping in public constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. Here's the truth: the solution to homelessness is connecting people to housing. #HomelessnessIsSolvable
