Last week, the Supreme Court decided that cities can make it illegal for homeless individuals to sleep on sidewalks and public spaces, even if there is no shelter available. This means that cities can enforce rules that allow for fines, tickets, or arrests of homeless people.

The San Diego LGBT Community Center in California strongly disagrees with this ruling, especially since LGBTQ+ individuals and youth are more likely to be homeless. The decision to allow anti-encampment policies is seen as a way to penalize homelessness rather than addressing the deeper issues and offering better support.

The Center, which is a major provider of health and human services for the LGBTQ+ community in San Diego County, believes that punishing homeless individuals will have harmful effects. They will continue to push for more compassionate solutions.

For help with housing resources, people can contact the Center via email at hello@thecentersd.org or by calling their front desk at 619-692-2077.
