Supreme Court Case Involving Criminalization of Homelessness
The podcast episode explores a case before the Supreme Court regarding the criminalization of homelessness. Ian Milheiser from Vox discusses the case known as Grants Pass, where the Supreme Court is evaluating whether it's permissible to make homelessness illegal through a web of ordinances that indirectly target homeless individuals.
