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

Two years after the U.S. Supreme Court's Grants Pass v. Johnson decision, over 350 cities and 14 states have enacted stricter laws targeting street homelessness, including public camping bans, enforcement mandates, and legal measures allowing property owners to sue local governments for non-compliance. Examples include Louisiana's Homelessness Court and Georgia and Oklahoma's Safe Neighborhood laws, which enable lawsuits against local governments failing to enforce anti-camping rules.
