In an attempt to prevent the city of Grants Pass from closing one of two approved homeless camps and limiting the hours of the other, a disability rights advocacy group has filed a lawsuit.
The latest 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. As they continue to struggle with how to handle the nation’s escalating homelessness epidemic, state and local governments nationally keenly monitored the litigation and high court ruling.
