S1:E9 -- Is it illegal to be homeless?

Since June 2024 when the Supreme Court in the U.S. ruled that local ordinances banning public camping do not violate the Eighth Amendment's "cruel and unusual punishment" clause*, cities across the country have begun to call outdoor camping illegal. This essentially makes homelessness illegal in those cities. We untangle this issue. Untangling Knots is a no-guardrails podcast focused on how cities and non-profits can work together to manage homelessness. Your hosts are Jaynell "KK" Assmann, founder and CEO of street medicine non-profit Care Beyond the Boulevard, and Josh Henges, longtime homeless advocate who helps cities create strategies that address homelessness. Our views are our own. ------ *In City of Grants Pass v.

The decision allowed municipalities to enforce anti-camping laws.
