Constitutional Challenges in Homelessness Law
This chapter explores the intersection of U.S. constitutional law and homelessness through significant Supreme Court cases, particularly focusing on anti-camping laws. It discusses the implications of these laws in light of the Eighth Amendment's protection against cruel and unusual punishment and how they affect vulnerable populations. The conversation delves into local government responsibilities and the legal complexities surrounding issues of status versus action in the criminalization of homelessness.
