InSight: The Law and Sleeping Unsheltered

Show Details

Gretchen Bennett, the City of Salem's homelessness liaison, gives a complete picture on InSight of the City's approach to homelessness in the light the US Supreme Court's recent ruling finding Grants Pass laws that criminalize sleeping in public places do not violate the Eighth Amendment’s protections against cruel and unusual punishment. She describes the difficulties finding the right resources and approach for those living on the streets, unsheltered, and Salem's approach to handling this complex issue.
