The U.S. Supreme Court will decide in its review of the case Grants Pass v. Johnson .
Lower courts have ruled that arresting someone for sleeping outside when there are no free shelter beds in the area is a violation of the Eighth Amendment , which protects against cruel and unusual punishment.
If the Supreme Court overturns the ruling, this could intensify cities’ efforts to treat the unhoused as criminals, author says.
Author: Cities use a variety of tactics to push unhoused people out of public view.
Many shelters, where they exist, are not open during daytime hours , leaving people without housing no choice but to loiter or continue moving throughout the day .
At times, shelters themselves present roadblocks that discourage people from using their services.
The court’s decision on Grants Pass v. Johnson will determine whether treating unhoused people as criminals is constitutional.
