The Supreme Court approved criminalizing homelessness in June 2024. I posted about it back then, but here is a NPR link.

NPR: The Supreme Court says cities can punish people for sleeping in public places
"In its biggest decision on homelessness in decades, the U.S. Supreme Court today ruled that cities can ban people from sleeping and camping in public places. The justices, in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, overturned lower court rulings that deemed it cruel and unusual under the Eighth Amendment to punish people for sleeping outside if they had nowhere else to go."
