CSH Statement: When Enforcement Becomes the Policy,
Communities Pay the Price

 
Communities across the country are rightly frustrated by the visible growth of homelessness and encampments. Local leaders are under pressure to respond.

Unfortunately, and in many places, that pressure has led to increased arrests, fines and other enforcement actions to show near‑term action even as longer‑term housing solutions are underway.

While the frustration is understandable, the evidence is clear that enforcement on its own does not reduce homelessness. In fact, it often makes it harder for people to stabilize, find work and ultimately secure housing. 

Since the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in Grants Pass vs. Johnson removed barriers to anti-camping enforcement, two dozen states and hundreds of cities have passed or proposed laws that treat homelessness as a public offense.

That approach has a track record, and it is not working. 

Punishing people for experiencing homelessness only makes it harder to regain stability and secure housing.
