U.S. Supreme Court & local homeless policies

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear  Johnson v. Grants Pass, Oregon that asks whether cities remove homeless encampments without an alternative for the homeless. The case is on appeal from the 9th Circuit which has ruled in several cases that preventing homeless encampments can be cruel and unusual. 20 state Attorneys General, including Texas, have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 9th circuit decision.
