Cities are clearing encampments, but this won’t solve homelessness − here’s a better way forward

Supreme Court ruling allows cities to penalize people for sleeping in public spaces even when no shelter is available.

Many U.S. cities are moving aggressively to clear homeless encampments, often without providing sufficient shelter or support to the people they are displacing.

Research shows that Housing First approaches are more effective than punitive bans.

In 2024 , the federal government awarded US$3.16 billion to communities nationwide through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Continuum of Care program.

This is a crisis-response strategy designed to minimize trauma associated with living on the street by moving people into housing as quickly as possible.

A study published by HUD in 2016 found that giving homeless families permanent housing subsidies was the most effective way to ensure long-term housing stability.
