Community Solutions, alongside 225 direct service providers, partners, organizations, and affiliates, has endorsed an Amicus Brief, officially filed with #SCOTUS on 4/3.
This brief stands in staunch support of Gloria Johnson, et al., highlighting the detrimental effects of criminalization while eloquently showcasing the narratives of the amici. It brings to light proven strategies to combat homelessness, aiming to make it a rare and brief experience in any community.
#HomelessnessIsSolvable #JohnsonVGrantsPass
Civil rights leaders, homeless activists, public health experts, faith groups, members of Congress and more all agree: we will never solve homelessness with jails and fines. #JohnsonVGrantsPass
