Abstract

The article suggests the potential of the legal battle of homeless people in Grant Pass, Oregon before the U.S. Supreme Court to reshape the homelessness crisis across the U.S. It discusses the issue of banning sleeping camping in public spaces, regulation of homelessness and violation of the Eighth Amendment. It raises concerns of homeless residents about safety, mental health and drug addiction, absence of shelters and urban campgrounds and scarcity of resources such as water in parks.
