Supreme Court homelessness ruling could help defeat crisis
Fox News
The battle over how to handle the homelessness crisis went all the way to the Supreme Court. Thanks to their ruling, it's back with local officials who can act without interference.
Timothy Sandefur is the vice president for legal affairs at the Goldwater Institute, which filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to review and overturn the Grants Pass decision.
This across-the-board numerical formula effectively barred — or was at least interpreted to bar — cities from taking steps to help the homeless, and many cities, including Phoenix, saw the decision as a convenient excuse to refuse to do their jobs. The result was a massive spike in homelessness, particularly in the western states subject to the Ninth Circuit’s authority.
