2 years after Grants Pass, 14 states, 350 cities have tougher laws on street homelessness

Two years after the Supreme Court's Grants Pass v. Johnson decision, 14 states and over 350 cities have enacted stricter laws against street homelessness, including public camping bans and enforcement mandates. Louisiana and Indiana introduced new measures, while Georgia and Oklahoma passed Safe Neighborhood laws allowing property owners to sue local governments for noncompliance. Federal data shows a slight decrease in homelessness nationwide but increases in 28 states.
