New lawsuit thrusts Oregon city once again into national spotlight on homelessness

In an attempt to prevent the city of Grants Pass from eliminating one of two approved homeless camps and limiting the hours of the other, a disability rights advocacy group has filed a new lawsuit.

The lawsuit is the first significant case after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last summer that limits on public camping in Grants Pass did not amount to cruel and unusual punishment.
