Grants Pass, Oregon, has challenged a 9th Circuit ruling that banned outdoor camping laws, bringing the case before the Supreme Court. This case stems from a 2018 decision by a federal appeals court that Boise, Idaho's camping ban, which was used to deter the homeless from sleeping on the streets, constituted 'cruel and unusual punishment.' The Supreme Court's decision, expected this month, could significantly impact how cities nationwide handle homelessness.
