We believe individuals, families and communities are safer, healthier, and stronger when everyone has a home.  Unfortunately, our most vulnerable neighbors often lack stable and affordable housing in their communities.  This crisis can and must be solved. #HomelessnessIsSolvable

As #SCOTUS deliberates on #JohnsonVGrantsPass , let’s remember: penalizing homelessness does more harm. We need housing solutions, not fines. 🏘️ #HomelessnessIsSolvable #HousingNotHandcuffs

Live from the #HousingNotHandcuffs rally in DC! Folks are chanting: 'SCOTUS, now's the time! Homelessness is not a crime!'

“2/3 of Americans have a personal connection to housing instability. We are not alone in this fight; most of America is in this fight with us. Thank you for being a part of this movement.” - Antonia Fasanelli National Homelessness Law Center

Escaping homelessness during an affordable housing crisis is really hard to do. It’s even harder when you have a criminal record and debt because of inhumane laws that criminalize basic human functions, like sleeping.

Arresting or fining people experiencing homelessness isn’t just ineffective; it does more harm. As #SCOTUS hears #JohnsonVGrantsPass , we must advocate for humanity and #HousingNotHandcuffs . #HomelessnessIsSolvable

Criminalization makes it harder for people to move out of homelessness. We need to invest in proven and humane best practices to responding to unsheltered homelessness: tinyurl.com/46s7t4fb. #HousingNotHandcuffs #JohnsonvGrantsPass

This is what the court is deciding: whether this country will actually solve homelessness with housing and supportive services, or fail by arresting, fining and ticketing people who live on the streets. #johnsonvgrantspass

Here in solidarity with Terry, who lost his home in a tornado and then lost his job. Arrests, tickets and fines didn't get Terry into housing.
Housing and support did. #johnsonvgrantspass

Helen Cruz, who has experienced homelessness in Grants Pass, OR:

“Housing IS the only solution.”

'What the court decides in this case will tell us a lot about the country we are, and the country we want to be. And I know the country I want to live in does not arrest people for being poor.' Efrén Southern Poverty Law Center #HousingNotHandcuffs

Our new research revealed 72% of adults suveyed reject jailing, ticketing, or fining people for sleeping outside if there's no shelter available. It's bi-partisan and common sense. johnsonvgrantspass.com/press-1/f/pres… #johnsonvgrantspass

'Instead of needlessly trying to put people in jail for being unhoused, we need government at all levels to invest in affordable housing. Housing is a human right. Affordable housing can end homelessness.' Efrén, Southern Poverty Law Center #HousingNotHandcuffs

It's wonderful to see so many people coming together to say no to tickets and fines and yes to housing and services so that everyone has a safe place to live. #JohnsonvGrantsPass .

“Our nation has a dark historic legacy of punishing people of color for being poor, particularly Black communities and indigenous people. If the policy of Grants Pass is overturned, we will return to that horrendous reality.” - Efrén Olivares Southern Poverty Law Center
